The Glory Question

Glory is weighty. Glory is significant. Glory is strong. When referring to God it is life altering, transforming, earth shattering. Quite literally. "He raised His voice, the earth melted" (Ps. 46:6). Glory is the story of the Bible from first to last. God's glory in Christ redeeming a people for His own possession. Jesus is the glory of God in full bloom. We beheld His glory. John 1:14 says "And the Word became flesh, and  dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."

What does glory mean when referring to God? What is God's glory? Simply put, it is Jesus Christ and Him crucified. By God's grace I will boast in nothing else (1 Cor. 1:31). He is the crucified Lord of glory (1 Cor. 2:8). "He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and  upholds all things by the word of His power" (Heb. 1:3). Jesus Christ is where glory is at. Crucified, risen and coming again, He is the glory of God. Mankind boasts in many things, I will boast in Christ my King. Forever. To God alone be glory.
