"The Glory of God" Is "In the Face of Jesus Christ"

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork."  (Psalm 19:1)

"The heavens declare the glory of God," but not God Himself.  Only Jesus Christ can do that.  We are not pantheists.  I might say here that where Jesus Christ is not central in worship, whatever is going on is nothing but idolatry.  And lest we descend into some "glory of God" religion which is not centered in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit tells us, "For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

"The heavens declare the glory of God," but not "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God."  This is only Jesus, Word of the Father, Whom Psalm 19 goes on to describe as, "perfect-- sure-- right, giving joy to the heart-- radiant, giving light to the eyes-- pure, enduring forever--, altogether righteous-- more precious than gold-- sweeter than honey,"---------- our very, very "great reward" indeed!

Father, in Jesus' Name, may I glory in nothing else and none other than [Your Glory] in the face of Jesus Christ."  Amen.
