The Bible tells us, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).There is not one of us who is completely and perfectly living the life that God had intended in the Garden. But the good news is that Christ in us is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:24-27).It is through that union that glory moments occur. Without Christ in us, we are not even able to detect or reflect God’s glory at all. And yet, that was God’s original intent for us “in the beginning.” Most people would agree that we are born with an inherent inner nagging that there has to be something more than what we see. Solomon wrote: “He has also set eternity in the hearts of men” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). No matter how humanity has tried to satisfy the hunger, quench the thirst, or mask the reality of God’s existence, eternity still pulls at the heart. A longing to experience God persists. The glory ache is a chronic throb. But here is the good news! Aren’t you ready for some good news? This is not our final home! We are merely passing through this thing called life. And until those who know Christ leave this earth and enter God’s glory once and for all, until we inhale eternity, He gives us glimpses of glory right here on earth! Moments of sudden glory abound, if we will but take the time to recognize them, to embrace them, to enjoy them … to taste and see that the Lord is good!
