… beholding the glory of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18
The eyes of our heart should always be fixed on one person: Christ. If we look to the Lord Jesus, this will have great consequences:
– For ourselves: We will be strengthened and encouraged. “Consider him who endured such great opposition from sinners against himself, so that you may not grow weary, being faint in your souls” (Heb 12:3).
– For others: We reflect something of the glory of the Lord. “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed according to the same image from glory to glory” (2 Cor 3:18).
– For Christ: it delights His heart when we look up to Him. In the imagery of the Song of Songs, it sounds like this: “You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one of your glances” (Song of Songs 4:9).
