                Knowledge of the glory

​

​

​

For God, who said,

"Let light shine out of darkness,"

made his light shine in our hearts

to give us the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face

of Christ. Corinthians 4:6

Daily while writing this

webletter, I feel fear of God.

It gets more as time goes by.

Because God's words I dare

work with.

Light is knowledge of

God's glory.

This light shines on Jesus face.

God who made the light of

the universe and shines has

given the knowledge of

God Jesus in his children's

hearts in order to know

God's glory.

Without such knowledge,

the Bible tells

academic scholars are ignorant

and live desperate lives.

With such knowledge lowly

people live constantly abundantly.

It is because the owner of

darkness and sin, the devil

has known nothing of

God's glory and beauty.

Corinthian Churches. Letter is the most intimate and personal.

Two thousand years ago, the Corinth city in Greece reminds

us today's New York city. The Corinth seaboard city was

then a center of trade, merchandize, wealth and luxury.

Also there was the Venus temple which led people not only

to moral deterioration but also sexual disaster.

The original location of Humanism, which against Creator God

and focus on human, the Corinth city in Greece lay in

spiritually formless, empty and darkness.

Here by God's mercy small lights began to shine. They were the

Lord Jesus' house Churches. They belong to the low social class.

Envious and jealous devil attempted to destroy God's

House Churches by questioning Paul's integrity and Apostleship.

And it caused to delay and complicate the promised loving

collection as well for the poverty stricken Jerusalem church.  

It was the process of the life giving Gospel to us, and it

continues so. How beautiful are the feet those who

bring good news !
