The Face of Jesus Christ

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Face of Jesus Christ. For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. second Corinthians four six. The light that shines in the soul of a lost sinner when he first comes to know Jesus Christ can only be compared to the light that Christ called forth on day one of the creation week.

We met this God of glory spiritually when we first beheld in our hearts the face of Jesus Christ. But the face of Jesus Christ was not always deemed so glorious. We read of a time when ungodly men did spit in his face, took a blindfold to cover his face, and finally with the rain of terrible blows struck him on the face. once his countenance as Lebanon excellent as the cedars but when they finished their assault, his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

However, the time is coming very soon when all those who have turned their faces from him will call to the mountains and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. When finally they will have seen the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ in all its consuming strength, not even the world itself will stand, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. For those who have looked on him in faith, however, this will not be a time of judgment, but blessing, for they shall see his face. The face of Jesus Christ, fierce as a devouring fire to those he must judge, is glorious in beauty and love. to those who believe.
