2 Corinthians 3:18
18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
When you look in a mirror, what do you see?
Of course, you see yourself.
Beloved, God does not want you to see
yourself in the natural — small, troubled, weak, sick, broke and a loser. God
wants you to see yourself the way He sees you — healed, strong, rich, whole and
complete, because Christ is in you. (Colossians 1:27)
God wants you to behold as in a mirror the
glory of His Son who is in you by His Spirit. As you behold the glory of the
Lord who is in you, God’s Word says that you are being transformed from poor to
rich, sick to healed, loser to winner — from glory to glory!
The world may say to you, “It can’t be that
easy. You can’t be transformed just by beholding the glory of Jesus. No way!
You must do something about you. If you don’t put in effort, nothing will
happen. If you don’t do anything, nothing will change.”
But the world will never understand that as
you are beholding the glory of the Lord who is the successful one in you, you
are being transformed from a failure to a success. And this is not accomplished
by any effort of yours, or by your working hard to get ahead of others, but by
the Spirit of the Lord!
As you behold the glory of the Lord who is
the healthy one in your sick body, you are transformed from sickness to health.
And this is not accomplished by any effort of yours to keep fit and eat well,
but by the Spirit of the Lord!
My friend, what can be easier than beholding the beauty
of the Son? So stop focusing on self and self-effort. Look away from these
things and begin to behold the glory of Jesus who is in you right now, and you
will begin to behold the miracles that you need!
