Glorifying the Son means revealing the true weight (kavod) of God's character through the self-giving love of the Cross. This revelation is essential for salvation because it makes God's ultimate beauty visible, breaking our self-absorption and inviting us inside the door to participate in the eternal, loving relationship of the Trinity.
Purpose —
03.
A meditation on the cross through the language of physics—where Christ steps between fragile humanity and the unyielding holiness of God, absorbing the full impact of our sin and turning a lethal collision into intimate communion.
02.
Mothers glorify God in their very existence. Thank God that He created them to remind us that He is here and with us — and of His sacrificial love on that cross, and every day before and after that.

I now understand why the thread only goes forward. When I reflected on the fact that my eyesight is gone in my right eye, the first thoughts that came to my head were thoughts about what I was doing, and what I shouldn’t have done that had led me to this point. I lamented overworking, not giving myself rest, not going to see the doctor sooner. I lamented relationships that I kept, and how I wanted everyone to encircle me and validate me in my effort to please everyone.
