A Devotional Verse From Paul's Second Letter To The Corinthians

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.
2 Corinthians 4:6

In this verse Paul thinks back to creation talking of how God called the light out of darkness, Let there be light: and there was light (Genesis 1:3). He says that God has shined, or put light in our hearts, and that is so we can see His glory in the face of Jesus Christ. So, it is very clear if you want to see the glory of God you look at Jesus Christ: He is the light of the world, He is the glory of God, He is the Savior of those who will see and believe His glory. And the Word was made 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 (John 1:14).
