Mirror of Christ

Jun19

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.
But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer (a doer of a work), this man will be blessed in what he does (his doing).
James 1:23-25 NASB1995

Are we hearers of the word, who read the word out of duty, so we can check the box of religious obedience? Do we go out into the world and forget to Whom we belong? The One Whom we represent?

As doers of the word we have a responsibility to read, meditate, and practice the word under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Just as Jesus mirrored the Father, we are the mirror of God to others. Do others see the Light of Jesus in us? Are our words, actions, deeds leading others to Christ? By the power of the Holy Spirit residing in us we will be an effectual doer.

Put the word into practice otherwise it is forgotten.

🌹But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

Shine Jesus Shine Pt. 3

Mar12

As we gaze on Your kindly brightness.
So our faces display Your likeness.
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me. Shine on me.

— Cliff Richard–

Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord — Ezekiel 10:4

But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, — Titus 3:4-5

like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. — 1 Peter 2:2-3

[Moses’ Face Shines] It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him. — Exodus 34:29

They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed. — Psalm 34:5

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. — 2 Corinthians 3:18

Does your face and life reveal the image/likeness of Christ? Does it display His story? Just as Moses’ face shone because of his speaking with Him, our lives are transformed from glory to glory when we take time to speak with Him, Jesus Christ.

Continually seeking Him,
