So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. NLT

The greatest freedom in the world is the freedom to become like Jesus. This transformation increasingly happens in the life of the believer. The more we ‘’see’’ the glory of the Lord (in the Word, by the Spirit), the more we are metamorphosed from ‘caterpillars’ into ‘butterflies’. Seeing the Lord’s glorious beauty, and reflecting it are two sides of the same coin.

I once heard about a famous author who lived on a street where a godly Christian man also had his residence. Apparently he said, ‘As long as I live on the same street as that old man, I cannot doubt that there is a God.’

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that you will make my life into living evidence for your glory. Help me to keep looking at you, to keep my gaze fixed on you. Enable me to reflect your glory, at Christmas, and all through the year.
