Perhaps we often reference the 'glory of God' without paying much heed to the content of the phrase. Let us consider a definition to reinforce our understanding of this concept. The glory of God is:The infinite perfections of God in His worth, works, attributes, majesty, splendor, honor, and dignity. The popular ideas of Jesus associated with Christmas will be misguided at best without the attending understanding and appreciation of His forever glory. Our realizing the weight of the incarnation (Emmanuel, God with us, God in flesh, Jesus' conception and birth) hinges on answers to the following questions: Where was Jesus on conception eve? (and) To where did Jesus ascend? It may seem more natural to imagine Jesus among us, teaching the message of the Kingdom, perhaps even doing amazing miracles – nevertheless -- the Word of God is clear... Knowledge of our Lord limited to this capacity is insufficient to truly appreciate Jesus Christ. We must BEHOLD OUR GOD (Is 40) in His forever glory!
