[The Glory Unveiled]
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. [ Hebrews 11:6 NIV ]
The Bible declares that in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily—physically, visibly, tangibly. God wrapped everything He would ever do, reveal, or give to humanity and hid it in Christ. He designed it this way so that outside of Jesus, nothing of God can be truly seen, known, or experienced. Many great men have walked the earth—Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Paul—mighty vessels, yes, but none of them carried the complete portrait of God’s person. They bore pieces of the glory, but Christ alone is the fullness. On the mount of transfiguration, God Himself emphasised this truth. While Peter was still speaking—trying to place Moses, Elijah, and Jesus on the same platform—Scripture says a bright cloud overshadowed them, and the Father’s voice thundered: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.” (Matthew 17:5). God was not merely correcting Peter; He was reordering the entire spiritual landscape. “Do not listen to Moses. Do not listen to Elijah. Do not listen to human opinion—not even Peter’s. Listen to My Son. He alone carries My full pleasure. He alone reveals My full heart.” Without Jesus—the author and finisher of our faith—there is no path to pleasing God. It is through Him, and in Him, and by Him that we encounter the God who rewards those who diligently seek Him. All of God is in Christ, and all who seek God must come through Christ. For in Him, the fullness of God has come close, has become knowable, and has been made ours.
