The light from the face of Christ

Paul concluded the description of the ministry of the Spirit by saying that, ‘If our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age [Satan] has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.’ 2Co 4:3-6.  

On the day of His resurrection, Jesus Christ was revealed to be the first Man in the image and likeness of God. He is presently seated at the right hand of God in His spiritual body. He possesses the seven Spirits of God. The glory of God, which is the light of the seven Spirits of God, shines from His face. The light that shines from the face of Christ is revealed, by the Holy Spirit, through the ministry of the seven stars in the right hand of Christ. This is the true light of the world, which is far more important than the light of the sun that sustains the natural creation. It is the light of the seven Spirits of God that illuminates the darkness of a person’s heart, enabling them to see the hope of their calling as a son of God who will be conformed to the image of Christ, so that they can reveal the glory of God forever.
