Announcements – March 15, 2024

By AdministratorUncategorized
Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
For the last several weeks, we have been carefully considering the amazing and brilliant vision of the Lord’s throne as described by Ezekiel.  We’ve tried to imagine the heavenly storm, the four living creatures, and the interlocking wheels of the chariot-throne upon which one “with a human appearance” is seated (1:26).  As we arrive at verse 28, Ezekiel finally tells in very plain and simple language what the vision was really all about: “Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.”
That word “glory” is obviously a word we encounter frequently in Scripture, and it certainly seems to be central to the Gospel message itself.  In fact, as theologian Dr. Christopher Morgan has observed, “The glory of God is interwoven throughout the Biblical story and forms the origin, content, and goal of the entire cosmic narrative.”
But what is “glory,” and more specifically, the “glory of the Lord”?
Well, if we stay tuned-in to the message of Ezekiel, the answer we seek will surely become clear.  And if Ezekiel’s reaction to this vision the divine glory is any clue (“I fell on my face”), then we are in for a blessed shock for sure!
What a great joy it will be to worship our glorious Lord together this Sunday!
I love you all so very much,
Mike
