THIS is our first saving view of Christ, the first instance of our beholding his glory by faith. So to see him, as to see God in him, is to behold his glory; for herein is he eternally glorious. And this is that Glory whose view we ought to long for, and labour after. And if we see it not, we are yet in darkness; yea, tho' we say we see, we are blind like others. So David longed and prayed for it, when yet he could behold it only in Types and Shadows, Psal. 63. 1, 2.

For there was in the Sanctuary an obscure representation of the Glory of God in Christ. How much more should we prize that view of it, which we may have with open face, tho' yet as in a glass? 2 Cor. 3. 18.
