To glory in Christ, is the secret of true rest and peace. We may not glory in ourselves. We may not glory in riches or natural gifts, or the praise of man, or in any attainments we may make. We must learn to abase ourselves; to own our utter insufficiency, our ignorance, our exceeding sinfulness, our inability to do anything aright of ourselves and resort to Christ and glory in Him as the spring of all hope, strength, and consolation.
But how may this be? How may you learn thus to glory in Christ and rejoice in Him evermore? It can only be as you learn to know more of Him; His glorious person, in His unblemished character, in His wondrous Word, in His marvelous work of salvation, and in His sacred offices. Hence Christians are bidden to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18).
Therefore let it be your constant prayer, "Lord Jesus, show me Your glory! Manifest Yourself to me! Make me to know You more fully, that I may trust You and love You more and more."
In this spirit, study these words of the Beloved Apostle. In this passage He reveals to us bright rays of the Redeemer's glory. May each glimpse of Christ which we behold here, draw our hearts more closely to Him!
[George Everhard]
Isaiah 45:25 ... In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
1 Corinthians 1:30-31 ... But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Psalm 62:7 ... In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.❤
