and the glory of the Lord!



today i studied isaiah 40:5 "And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."  i don't have much to say about it except just a little thing.  i think this scripture is talking about a day in the future when all people will see, and know and recognize  the Christ.  but i thought of it another way too.  that Christ can be revealed in us.  you know, like in"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."--matthew 5:16  or "And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?"--alma 5:14 or "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."--galations 3:27 (i envision this as putting on a 'Christ suit', like a sumo-suit but so much better...and easier to move around in) or "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen."--moroni 7:48. so what i mean is that we can reveal Christ to others by the way we live and love and act.  if we try to be like him, do his works, love as he loves.  it is something i think about sometimes and i wish i was better at it.


...i also wish someone else would post soon, hint, hint, nudge, nudge.

  1. That is such a great way to look at that verse. I wish I was better at putting on the "Christ sumo suit" too. Maybe having that image in my head will help me remember.
