2 Corinthians 4:6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
There is the very glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, for he is "very God of very God," and he who will but think of the wondrous mystery of the Incarnate Deity, and the simple but marvellous plan of salvation through Christ’s atoning sacrifice, will see infinitely more glory there than in all God’s works in creation or providence. Well does Watts say,-
"The spacious earth and spreading flood Proclaim the wise and powerful God,
And thy rich glories from afar Sparkle in every rolling star."
"But in Christ’s looks a glory stands,
The noblest labour of thine hands,
The pleasing lustre of his eyes Outshines the wonders of the skies."
