Daily Bread - Oct 27 2006
John 2:11 - "This Jesus did as the beginning of His signs in Cana of Galilee and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed on Him."
There are two dimensions of the glory of God revealed in the Old Testament: First - The visible manifestation of the glory (Hebrew 'kavod') wherein God revealed the majesty of His person. When Moses desired to see the 'kavod' (glory), God showed him a dimension of His own person (Exodus 33:22). Secondly -The invisible manifestation of God's 'kavod' which are acts of His power. Moses when telling the children of Israel that God was going to give them manna said, "In the morning you shall see the glory of God" (Exodus16:7-10).
Both of these two dimensions of the 'kavod' were embodied in the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. As the incarnate Word He was the express image of the Father and the fullness of God dwelling in man (Hebrews 1:3; John 14:9; Col 1:15). Through the signs and wonders and acts of power, such as, turning the water into wine, Jesus revealed the invisible glory of God (John 14:10; 10:38; 5:19).

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
