In focusing on the glories of the Lord Jesus Christ, we realize that this subject takes us to a realm beyond creature comprehension; it takes us to “light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see” (1 Tim. 6:16). Many of the glories of our God are too bright for us as creatures to enter into, but, blessed be God, some of His glories and the glories of our Lord we may see, and as we view them we are changed by them (2 Cor. 3:18). We will, as our Lord desires, share in some of them (John 17:2222And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: (John 17:22)).
We hope all who read this issue will realize that the articles only give a glimpse of what is ours to enjoy now and what will occupy our hearts for eternity. In our present state, eternity seems too short a time for God to unfold to our hearts all the wonders of His glories and the glories of His beloved Son, the Son of Man.
Paul in the third heaven “heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter” (2 Cor. 12:4 JND). Soon what he saw and heard we shall see and hear. Our hearts then will overflow in worship forever. Now we wait, but while we wait, “we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
