The Glory of God

Preached by Pastor Daniel, January 29, 2012 ( Fulfillment of Promises )

The Scripture tells about the glory of God. In Exodus 33:18, Moses is begging the Lord to see His glory, verse 19, Then He said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the Name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion (mercy) on whom I will have compassion.
It is said that the glory of God consist of goodness,as we always say "God is good all the time, All the time God is good. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not be perish and have everlasting life.(John 3:16)
Proclaiming the Name of the Lord, He has a lot of names, and each of His name is glory. We give glory, honor, and praise unto His Name.
Grace is receiving something you don't deserve.Unmerited favor.
And the last is mercy.
We should all be resemblance of our Father by being merciful, gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness. The Lord wants to give us future. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.- 2nd Corinthians 5:21
God also give glory to man, Haggai 2:9 says "but the glory of God is greater".
In 2 Corinthians 2:7, But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages of our glory. Because of the freedom God has granted man, God's plan for the crucifixion of Christ had to be kept secret. In the gospel of Mark4:11, and he said to them, " To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things are come in parables. In other words, only those believer is to understand the mystery. And that mystery is Jesus Christ Crucified!
When we say glory, it is the beauty, the radiance,the fruit. Glory is the essence of a brethren.
Everything has its own glory-1 Cor 15:39. In verse 47-49, the first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.And as we have borne the image of the man of dust,we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

The Glory of the Lord is risen upon me!
May the Glory of the Lord shine upon you!
