Behold His Glory
Happy Christmas everyone and welcome to the podcast from yesterday’s service. We looked at the subject of the glory of God, starting with the amazing appearance of the angels in the hillsides of Bethlehem-Ephratah.
Before the message are two beautiful songs, O Come all ye Faithful by Casting Crowns, and O Come O Come Emmanuel by Joshua Aaron. And at the foot of the page is the worship video of Karen Davis’ song Behold His Glory, and the link to Jeff Facer’s message, and One For Israel’s video, regarding the Tower of the Flock.
May you be blessed with the presence of the Lord this Christmas! Maranatha, come Lord Jesus, come Yeshua!
Behold His Glory, Andy King, 24th December 2023:
Hebrews 1โ God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
John 1:1-5, 14-18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, โThis was He of whom I said, โHe who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.โ โ
16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
2 Corinthians 3:12-18 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speechโ 13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 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 by the Spirit of the Lord.
