God’s Glory on Display

Key Thought

God's glory is the magnificence of His splendour. It's part of who God is. His character and His nature. It is too wonderful for anybody to put into words. When His attributes are seen in our lives, God Himself is seen in our lives. His glory is displayed in our activity.

It pleased God to have his whole nature living in Christ, so whenever anybody looks at Jesus Christ, they are looking at God. Jesus is God's glory on display for all to see.

Becoming a Christian is turning back to God and asking Jesus to occupy your life. The Christian now lives to please Christ instead of pleasing self. Everything we did at one time was to show the world who we are. Now we are on display for Jesus. God's magnificence should start to shine through our lives.

For whatever reason God has decided to reveal Himself to people through people. God chose us to show Himself to others. We are His body and He is our head. We take our instructions from Him and His glory is on display through our lives.

Time To Think

Does my life reflect the glory (goodness) of God?
What's one thing I could change to better represent who God is?

Prayer

Father, it is amazing that you have decided to dwell in our broken lives. Your glory is seen in our activity when we do the things You want us to do. Help me live a life that reflects how good You are. Amen.
