Joshua 2; Hosea 10 to 11:11; Luke 20:1-19
Beloved, now are we the sons of God…but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2
Who can fully appreciate the truth revealed to us in this lovely verse? To think, that one day we shall be like Him is beyond our comprehension. William Alexander tells of an incident when translating these verses. The native scribe when hearing the words, “We shall be like him”, laid down his pen and exclaimed, “No, it’s too much; let us write, ‘we shall kiss His feet’”. Is it too much that “sons” shall one day be like Him? “As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness” (Ps. 17:15). —Jim Comte
And is it so? I shall be like Thy Son!
Is this the grace which He for me has won?
Father of glory—thought beyond all thought!
In glory, to His own blest likeness brought! —J. N. Darby
