2 Corinthians 4:6

"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." (2 Corinthians 4:6)

 

The light that shines in the soul of a lost sinner when he first comes to Christ can only be compared to the light that Christ called forth on Day One of the creation week. We met this God of glory spiritually when we first beheld in our hearts the face of  Christ.

 

But the face of Jesus Christ was not always deemed so glorious. We read of a time when ungodly men "did  spit in his face"He was beaten and bruised to the point that he no longer resembled a man. Yet he suffered all this for you and I. That we might stand in his glory light and his death was what offered us a chance to walk out of the dark into his marvelous light.
