THE GLORY OF GOD ( PART 11 )
What is the Shekinah Glory of God? ( Study 2 )
In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is the dwelling place of God’s Glory.
Colossians 2:9 tells us that “in Christ, all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,” causing Jesus to exclaim to Philip, “Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9).
In Christ, we see the visible manifestation of God Himself in the Second Person of the Trinity.
Although His glory was also veiled, Jesus is nonetheless the presence of God on earth. Just as the divine Presence dwelled in a relatively plain tent called the “tabernacle” before the Temple in Jerusalem was built, so did the Presence dwell in the relatively plain man who was Jesus. “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him” (Isaiah 53:2).
Abba Father, one of the splendors of Heaven is to see Your full glory. For when we get to heaven, we will finally behold both Your Son and You in all Your Glory, and the Shekinah will no longer be veiled (1 John 3:2).
