With Open Face Beholding (2 Corinthians 3:18)

2025-05-31

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Could it be as simple as looking at the Lord in all His glory and we can be transformed? Could it be that there is nothing within that can be improved upon? The only life we have is in Christ. As we look, the more He is manifest in us.

The older we get, we see how trivial everything in this life is. The glory of the kingdoms of the world become dimmer. The demise of everything this life calls great becomes more certain. The sins we sin become more abhorrent. If only when we were younger we could see it this clearly would things have been so different. May the Spirit of the LORD continually lead us to where the real life is, in Christ alone.
