All Christians, not just the Israelites’ leader, Moses, experience transformation daily as they contemplate the glory of God revealed in His Word, and especially in the living Word, Jesus Christ. Paul’s point was that the “image” of God, that we see in the Word, accurately reflects God, though we do not yet see God Himself. What we see in the “mirror” of God’s Word is the Lord, not ourselves. We experience gradual transformation. As we observe Christ’s glory, we advance in Christ-likeness and reflect His glory, not in our faces necessarily, but in our characters (cf. Ps. 84:7; 2 Pet. 3:18). Dr. Robert Constable
Are we letting God’s word change us day by day?
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
