Who is this One before whose face earth and heaven flee (
Rev. 20:11
11
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. (Revelation 20:11)
)?
The same One who fell on His face in the garden of Gethsemane (
Matt. 26:39
39
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. (Matthew 26:39)
).
The same One in whose face man, in his awful hatred, dared to spit (
Isa. 50:6
6
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (Isaiah 50:6)
;
Matt. 26:67
67
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, (Matthew 26:67)
).
The same One whose face was marred more than any man’s (
Isa. 52:14
14
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: (Isaiah 52:14)
), but who is for us fairer than the children of men (
Psa. 45:2
2
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. (Psalm 45:2)
).
The same One from whom God hid His face in His time of deep need (
Matt. 27:46
46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46)
).
The same One we are called to contemplate and in whose face shines the knowledge of the glory of God (
2 Cor. 3:18; 2
18
But 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. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
1
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? (2 Corinthians 3:1)
Cor. 4:6).
The same One whose face we shall soon see (
Rev. 22:4
4
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. (Revelation 22:4)
) when we will be face to face with Him (
1 Cor. 13:12
12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Corinthians 13:12)
).
“The glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”
(
2 Cor. 4:6
6
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)
).
