And we all, with unveiled face, beholding (or reflecting) the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
The Christ-life is not a moment in time. It is a process of being changed by degrees more and more into the image of Christ. Now Christ is infinitely glorious. Christ shines like the Sun, the Milky Way, and the Crab Nebula. Sometimes we humans see a ray of the Lord’s glory, and sometimes we reflect a glimmer of it. So we shine like a Christ-spark, then a Christ-candle, and later a Christ-ember.
By the Spirit of God I hope to burst into a Christ-fire someday.
