SEEING JESUS FACE-TO-FACE

“Now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.”

                       — 1 CORINTHIANS 13:12

 As we take time to study the Word of God, the Holy Spirit gives us eyes to see Jesus, the “image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). However, even as our vision is cleared by the Spirit of God and as we grow in knowledge through Scripture, we can still only see a glimpse of God’s infinite immensity here on earth. 

No one knows the day or hour they will leave this earth, through rapture or death, or when Jesus fulfills His promise to return, but one thing for sure is this—we will see Him clearly as it is written in 1 Corinthians 13:12.

When we see Jesus Christ face-to-face and know Him as He knows each of us, the beloved family of God—the members of the body of Christ—the church—it will be a glorious day. The Holy Spirit will infuse us with faith, hope, and the love we need to stand firm until we gaze into the eyes of our living and loving Savior and say, “I can see You, Jesus.” 

Take time to study the Word of God. Pray and meditate and memorize passages from the Bible. You will need to use the Word of God the way Jesus did in the wilderness before this life is over. 

REFLECTION AND HEART CHECK:

What particular passage has the Holy Spirit illuminated to you recently? What has the Holy Spirit revealed to you? How has your growth in the knowledge of God and His Holy Word changed you?

Let us pray:  Dear Jesus, help me to see clearly; to see You more clearly and know You intimately as I walk with You through this life. Increase my faith until the day You call me home or come again. Make me so such like You Lord that no one can resist You in me. Help me to walk in Your Love and to live each day watching for Your return. 

READ YOUR BIBLE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! 

You are extravagantly loved by God!

HIS love and mine,

Deborah
