“Arid the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we be
held His glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father), full
of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
If anyone knew Jesus intimately'
during His brief sojourn here on
earth it was John, who wrote these
words. John was,a first cousin of
Jesus, and is referred to in the
Scripture as “the disciple whom
Jesus loved.” Mary, the mother of
Jesus, had many other children ,
(Matthew 12:46; Matthew 13:55-
56; Mark 3:31; Mark 6:3; Luke]
8:19; Galatians 1:10) and so,
kough she was a virgin when Je
s was born, it is incorrect to re
fer to her now as the virgin Mary),
hut these brothers and sisters of
Jesus were not followers of Him
until after His resurrection, and so
it was to John’s care He commend
ed His mother as He hung dying
upon the cross. Certainly John
could . emphasize here, as he em
phasized in his first epistle (I John
1:1) that he speaks from personal
experience.
“ . . . and we beheld His glory
. . . ” John is an old man as he
writes these words. All the other
apostles have passed on to be with

their Lord, he alone remains. John
alone of living men make this
statement, “and we beheld His
glory . . . ” Some fifty years, and
more, have passed since John hist
saw Jesus in the flesh, vet he can
write “and we. beheld His glory”—
and use the word and the tense in
Greek that gives the added mean- j
ing, “And I can still see His glory!” (
Oh listen, behold toe glory of a.
man-made light, then look away,
and its image remains before you
hut a fleeting moment. Behold the
glory of the sun, and its imago, to<>,
soon passes away. Behold tin
glory of the only begotten Son of
God, the Light of the World, and
the image of that glory will remain
fixed upon vour vision forever, and
make it impossible for you to fo
cus your heart upon anything else.
How drab the cheap tinsel and taw
dry show of this world becomes
i when compared to the, .glory of the.
. Son of God; arid how His glory,
j otice beheld. liiimis Us to everything
' else!
“And \vo beheld Bis glory." Not
all did. Many saw Jesiis as he
walked the city streets and country'
lanes .of Palestine, hut not all be
held His glory. The Pharisees be
held Him, hut only as One who ex
posed their false piety and religi
ous hyprorrisy, and the Pharisees
sought to destroy Him. Judas saw
Him, hut only as an opportunity
for personal gain, and Judas ended
up by betraying Him. The mob,
saw Him, and the mob shouted j
“crucify. Him!” Nor should we ex- :
pert them to behold His glory, for
there was nothing in His outward
appearance that would seem to jus- j
