The Face of God
By David Wilkerson0PSA 27:4PSA 27:8MAT 5:16JHN 14:9ROM 8:292CO 3:18COL 3:10HEB 1:3JAS 1:221JN 3:2David Wilkerson emphasizes the deep longing of King David to know God intimately, expressing a desire for uninterrupted communion with Him. He highlights God's call to 'Seek my face,' which ignites a passion in David to reflect God's beauty and glory in his own life. Wilkerson explains that Jesus, as the human face of God, allows us to have a personal relationship with the Father, enabling us to live in a way that mirrors Christ's essence. This call to seek God's face is more urgent than ever, as it challenges believers to embody the likeness of Christ in a world filled with distractions and idolatries. Ultimately, the goal is to become the express image of God, so that others may see Christ through us.
A Talk About Disposition
By J.R. Miller0COL 3:8J.R. Miller emphasizes the importance of a Christian's disposition in reflecting the beauty of Christ to the world. He argues that our lives serve as a telescope through which others can see Jesus, and that a bad disposition can misrepresent Him. Miller insists that Christians must actively work to cultivate a sweet and gentle disposition, viewing bad dispositions as a sin that must be addressed. He encourages believers to strive for transformation through God's grace, likening the heart to a garden that requires diligent care to flourish. Ultimately, he calls for a commitment to embody Christ's love and gentleness in all interactions.
