Reflecting glory

My walk home from lectures is now very very lovely. A walk through Mary's college, then up a grassy bank to a high point above Durham city. It is beautiful. The cathedral standing out above a see of green and speckles of houses. Lovely.

Tonight was just as beautiful. The stars were out, the cathedral prominent and a full moon topping off the glorious view.

I couldn't help but think of Jesus. (Surprise surprise!)

2 Corinthians 3:18 "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory..."

How obvious was this tonight? The moon shining bright, bright light over the whole of the city, reflecting the glory of the sun. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory.

That is an amazing testament! We reflect the glory of Jesus, and how bright is that?! How glorious is he?! When we are transformed, when we are made more like him we reflect him more and more, we go from a lunar eclipse, through the crescent moon and half moon, to reflecting all of Jesus in all his glory.

I cannot wait!!!

I sang out and praised God for the beauty of his creation. It was wonderful. It was speaking to me about my king, it was glorifying him!

I also thought of the verse about shining like stars in the darkness (Phil 2:15), and that is life as a christian; reflecting Jesus, pointing out his beauty, shining a light to show the way, becoming beautiful ourselves, loving the whole universe.

I am both amazed and excited by his glory. And I simply say... MORE LORD.

I can't wait to see it again tomorrow morning.
