The
Divine Mirror
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
It is well to use it first to behold ourselves and see the ruin
sin has brought. But let us not stop here. Let a man look into a mirror and
find the sun in it and the glory will be reflected in his face. And so it is with
the Word. When we see ourselves in it we must necessarily be disappointed, but
when we look for Him in the Word and find Him there, His glory casts its
reflection upon us!
What need have we then to hide our faces? If David could say,
“They looked unto Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed”
(Psa. 34:5), how much more should this be said of us! We know, or should know,
more of Him than those of David’s day, and those Scriptures specially addressed
to us send us forth, not to proclaim God’s righteous demands, but to proclaim
Christ, the righteous One, who met these demands at Calvary and offers
justification and life to all.
And as, in our study of the Scriptures, we turn from the shame of
man to the glory of Christ; as we behold Him and see all we have and are in
Him, we become constantly more like Him, “changed into the same image from
glory to glory” (II Cor. 3:18).
