Immanuel Two
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him.
Exodus 34:29-30 NIV
Imagine being so close to God that people could tell it by the look on your face and they are afraid to come near you! When Moses left God's presence, people could tell. He had God's glory written all over him. It put the fear of God into more than a few people.
Isn't that the way we are supposed to be? Aren't you and I, the children of God, supposed to be in a committed, vibrant relationship with the Living God, that it shapes our character, who we are and who others see us to be? Shouldn't the experience of being near us "shake up" those around us who need a fresh touch from God?
I once had the awesome experience of meeting T. W. Hunt. Mr. Hunt d oes not have a household name perhaps, but before I met him, I had heard repeatedly that when you are in his presence, you feel as if you are literally in the presence of Christ. Mr. Hunt has written a couple of books I have read. One, "The Doctrine of Prayer", helped focus my prayer life. The other, "The Mind of Christ", gave me tremendous insight into which Christ was molding me to be.
When I met T. W. Hunt, I had to agree. He is a humble, Godly man who personifies Christ like no one else I have ever met. You can tell he has come near to God. I found myself challenged in my own walk with Christ being near Dr. Hunt.
Dear friend, are you working on the spiritual part of your life? Is your physical presence that others see becoming more and more like Christ? Do you feel more like Him today than you did last year this time? More importantly, would those closest to you say you are acting, looking and sounding like Christ?
As we call upon God to come ne ar to us, as we remember how He came near to us at Christmas time, may we strive more than ever to come near to Him? We will be changed, and others will notice!
