FACE TO FACE!

FACE TO FACE!

 

1 Cor 13:12

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

 

          The Greek word used to translate the word “darkly” is ainigma and already we know that it forms the basis of our English word enigma which means “something obscure or hard to understand.” We see imperfectly, myopically. The word glass here means mirror, but it is easy to imagine looking through the proverbial bottle bottom and seeing only a distorted image.

 

          A personal God will give me a personal message. When I stand before the Lord He will not speak as to a large audience but to me personally and to you. What He says to me will assure me that He has followed the events of my life with such care as to remember every event, even as I do. Rev 22:4 says: “And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”

 

Face To Face

Words: Carrie E. Breck

Music: Grant C. Tullar

 

Only faintly now I see Him,

With the darkened veil between,

But a blessed day is coming,

When His glory shall be seen.

 

Refrain

Face to face I shall behold Him,

Far beyond the starry sky;

Face to face in all His glory,

I shall see Him by and by!

 

Dear Lord, lead me as I stumble along with imperfect vision and keep me until we meet face to face. AMEN
