0727. THE OPEN FACE

THE OPEN FACE

"But we all with open face, beholding as in a glass, the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image" (2Co_3:18).

The open face is needed in approaching the mirror of God’s Holy Word, if we would see ourselves as we really are, and be transfigured into the image of the Lord of glory. The Word of God will have no transforming power in our hearts if we look into it only with that blinking critical eye that proudly sits in judgment upon the truth. The Lord give us that frank, open, honest face that rejoices in the truth, that our inner man may be changed into His image. If the truth of God transforms not our hearts and lives, we have not the open face.
