For my glory - Ten MSS., three ancient, and the Syriac and Vulgate, read לכבודי licabodi, without the conjunction ו vau, and. I have formed him - יצרתיו yetsartiv.

Horizoned by Glory
By T. Austin-Sparks0God's GloryBlessing and Judgment2CH 29:27ISA 43:7MAT 18:20JHN 1:14JHN 12:40ROM 8:301CO 10:31COL 1:27HEB 12:21PE 5:4T.

The glory of God, as seen in the burnt offerings and the sacrifice of Christ, brings blessings when God's nature is satisfied, leading to peace and joy for believers. However, when humanity deviates from divine nature, the same glory can result in judgment and destruction, as illustrated by Israel's history and the Transfiguration. Sparks urges believers to recognize that Christ is the embodiment of God's glory and satisfaction, and that our relationship with Him determines whether we experience blessing or judgment. Ultimately, the 'Crown of Glory' signifies God's approval of those who align with Christ's nature and purpose.
