Glorification

Immanuel. Our Lord is re-making us from corrupt to incorruptible. When we fall prostrate in terror before him he says, “Fear not”. Where once we had to remove our shoes, he calls us to stand in his presence. When once we had to hide in the cleft of the rock he comes to see us face-to-face. When once we were strangers we came to know even as we are known. Those who were lost have been found; those without an identity have been given a name; those who were dead in their sins have been raised to life; those who were slaves to wickedness have been freed. Once we were intolerable but he has washed us white as snow, bringing joy to the world. – E.O.
