"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 by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Cor. 3:18)

A remarkable copy of the Constitution of the United States is in Washington, D.C. At first glance, it appears to be a confusion of irregular lines and unusual lettering. But visitors who look at it closely suddenly see the face of George Washington looking up at them. The lines and lettering form a likeness of the father of our nation.

As George Washington shines through all the history of this great nation, so Jesus Christ in a much higher way shines through the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, the central emphasis is Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, the answer for human needs. (From Encyclopedia of Sermon Illustrations, Compiled by David F. Burgess, p. 33).

Speaking of the Holy Spirit Jesus said, "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you." (John 16:14) In the sacred Scriptures the Holy Spirit does not glorify Himself; instead, He glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ.
