The first question “The Westminster Shorter Catechism” asks is:” What is the chief end of man?”
We all know the answer: “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.” What a beautiful vision for our lives. This is not only for sacred moments, but for every moment in our lives. In our homes. Teaching and training our children. When Christ dwells in our hearts, every moment, and every action is sacred. Changing your baby’s diaper is no less sacred than sitting in church.
I was amazed again as we read John 17:22 in our Family Devotions the other morning. In the beautiful prayer that Jesus prayed for His disciples, and for all who would be saved, He said to His Father: “The glory which thou gavest me I have given them.” Isn’t that incredible?
Jesus came, in the flesh, to reveal the glory of His Father. Because He is now at the right hand of His Father, He passes on His glory to all who are born again into His family. We are now His vessels, to reveal in our flesh and blood, the glory of the Father. We were created to reveal God’s image.
How do we reveal His image and glorify Him? We do it through our deeds, but mostly through our faces. This is how we expose who we are. We manifest the glory of God through shining His love and kindness through our faces. Through our smiles. Through our open faces (2 Corinthians 3:2, 18).
2 Corinthians 2:14 reminds us that we are manifest the fragrance of Christ wherever we go. How can we show the glory of God through a masked face? You can’t. They hide your face. They hide your expressions. They hide the glory of God. That’s why, until this tyrannical plandemic, people used masks who did not want to be identified. Robbers wore masks to rob banks. Now the banks require masks. All for a virus that has a 99.9 percent cure. And the statistics reveal that no more people have died this year than last year! Or the year before! Check it out. It is sad that after eight months so many people are still believing the lying narrative the fake media are using to bring tyranny and a new economic order.
But . . .
GOD WANTS OPEN FACES TO REVEAL HIS GLORY!
THE DEVIL WANTS COVERED FACES TO HIDE GOD’S IMAGE!
If you belong to the kingdom of God, don’t hide our light (Matthew 5:14-16). Let the light of Jesus shine from your face wherever you go This is how you glorify God.
Shine in your home and wherever you go today,
