Look! The whole earth is full of His glory! And it is all around us. And He is all around us. The whole earth reflects and proclaims His beauty and wisdom and love for us. Which of us would think of making a jack-in-the-pulpit? Or a dragonfly? Or an eye? He is amazing God. The heavens themselves declare it.

Hear what Psalm 24 claims: Lift up your head, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! . . . Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory!

Who, then is this King of glory, the glory that we hear proclaimed from the heavens, the glory that we see in all the wide world of creation? The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14) He, Jesus Christ, is the King of glory. Hebrews 1 says of Him: He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. This is our amazing God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! (Psalm 95:6)

But there is more to this glory than mere created worlds. Much more. I'll explore that tomorrow.
