Arriving at “X” in our journey through the alphabet demands some creativity in our spelling!  Oh, but what a glorious view of Christ we will receive.  Our primary text verse comes from Hebrews 1, verse 3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things byContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: X-PRESS IMAGE”

Today’s view of the Lord reminds us that He is the source of endless supply:  He is a Well of Living Water.  The nation of Israel experienced many reminders of water’s value.  Palestine receives little rain from May to October; the preciousness of water never fades from view.  Divine provision of water preserved lives inContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: WELL of LIVING WATER”

We live in a noisy world; many sounds contend for our attention.  Although the beloved disciple, John, says the voice of the Lord is ‘great’ and ‘like a trumpet,’ our ears are often distracted by the competing noise.  Like the people of Isaiah’s day, we hear sounds but fail to understand Truth with our hearts. Continue reading “Glory Glimpse: VOICE”

Today’s focus on the Lord will lighten our burdens:  He is the Upholder of all things!  Back at the beginning of our journey, we considered the truth that Jesus is the Bearer of sin.  The freedom in that is the hope of our souls.  Contemplating Christ as the Upholder of All frees us to goContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: UPHOLDER of ALL”

The Tabernacle of God—the Tent, the Meeting Place—is our precious Lord Jesus Christ!  The disciple, John, told us in his gospel that God pitched His Tent—Jesus—with us.  In the Revelation given to John, he shared the vision of the Tabernacle descending permanently as mankind’s dwelling.  The richness of considering Christ as the Tabernacle is moreContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: TABERNACLE”

Our look at the Lord today focuses our eyes on a vital role of Christ—a role that we are to imitate–Servant of the Lord.  Imagine!  The Creator, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, accepted the role of Servant that He might redeem us from the cruel master we rebelliously chose over Him!  WithoutContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: SERVANT”

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.   Hebrews 11:6 Our journey through the alphabet of names for God brings us to an awesome truth with “R.”  God is aContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: REWARDER”

We have an interesting aspect of the Lord to consider today:  He is Quick!  It is not the quick we think of—hurry, hurry, hurry.  The rushing quickness of modern life brings death, but the Quickness of Christ is life giving.  As the Messiah, He has quick understanding of reverence for the LORD.  That quickness allowsContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: QUICK”

Christ, the Power of God, is our focus today.  When we accept the precious gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus, we actually receive God Himself into the clay jar of our human life!  Eternal life is not just a gift from God; it is the gift of God Himself: what an exciting distinction!  OurContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: POWER OF GOD”

The name we will consider for our Lord today typically appears as part of a title: Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end.  Our attention today, though, will focus primarily on how He is the Omega, the fulfilling End of all.  Jesus ascribed this title to Himself in the opening ofContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: OMEGA”
