Touching the face of God is a term that can be taken literally or subjectively. It can mean many things to many people. But I believe that this lies in the heart of every believer! To stand in His presence after all, shall be a glory we shall enjoy for eternity. To finally see God and His glory, His countenance so beautiful! And to be that intimately close to God to be able to reach out and touch His face, is beyond description. An overwhelming thought that IMHO triumphs over any other that man could aspire to entertain! So what then does this mean to you?! TR oh, what a moment ! ~ ~ It is more than wonderful, how our God and very LORD very much invites us to be held within His open arms, ~~ ~ ~ Thank You, Lord God of wooing Grace, and how You desire your children to soon gaze on Your Face, as we so await Your embrace ~~ ~ Individually and collectively, oh, Jesus we are blessed by faith to KNOW You shall grant us to touch Your Face, yes, the Heavenly Bride Groom . . as only God could do, paid the Price, announcing 'it is finished' . . ~ oh, may we grasp the reality and depth of our Great and epic God . . His Glory calling us to touch His Face . . . . ~~ our Father Abba wants to be known, through His Son ~ ~ so deeply He loves, and has sent His Spirit truly our engaging Comforter . . . . ~ To touch His garment, for starters is a dizzying thought . . and then He picks us up, and holds us, so in awe are we to gaze on His Face, feeling His Smile keeping us 'held' in His embrace ~ ~ . . Heaven IS HIS PRESENCE, what joy set before Him . . ~ ~ oh, how Glorious to be held by our God, no angel has known ~ ~ giving Praise to our GOD of Saving amazing Grace ~ I can’t wait to finally meet my Savior face to face and looking up into his beautiful loving eyes and thanking Him in person for taking my place on that awful cross and giving Him a big hug! Though He loves each of us and sees us all as precious. If you don't mind my saying so, I'm still His favorite! Tee, hee, hee. How indescribable it is to know that one day very very soon, man shall indeed touch His face. Not only will He be more real than ever before, but indeed the angels will blush with envy. Not only were they not redeemed of God, nor offered His heart, but no angel will be able to approach the Lord in the way that we can! TR I agree all His children are special and precious in His sight. Here are just a few titles we can call Jesus our Rock, our Hope, our Mediator, our Redeemer, our Bridegroom, Risen Lord, Prince of Peace, Good Shepherd, Great High Priest, Immanuel, King of kings, Messiah, our very best friend, etc. I wonder in heaven if the angels have their own special names that they call Jesus? Lord! TR Indeed, touching the face of God after all this time will be glorious! Even greater still will be seeing the Lord's face as He gazes upon each of us. The joy and love that will beam from his face as He studies ours will warm and melt every heart! Like a proud father with a new born child, he will take in every feature, every detail, every expression. Then he will exchange his expressions of admiration and pride sharing his thoughts with us. Lastly, he locks his eyes with ours. Peering into the depths of our souls, seeing and knowing all about us. Sharing his unconditional approval and love, he speaks comfort and calms all our fears. Mostly he speaks those words so gracious, saying: You belong here with Me and always have. Glad you're here, and thank you for loving Me! This is your forever home from now on, and I will never leave you! Then God touches our face! He turns and looks at the Father and proudly says: I touched his/her face! TR I got goose bumps just thinking of what you said T.R. ... Jesus, touching our faces and proudly saying to God the Father “I touched his/her face“. Wow. From these verses Jesus is also going to call us His brethren. Looks like Jesus is also going to “introduce/confess us“ to God the Father so perhaps we will see God the Father too?!! :whistle: Hebrews 2 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. ———- Luke 9:26 “For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.” Matthew 10:32-33 “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. _____ I would think ”those that deny Jesus before men” are the unsaved crowd ... hmmm I wonder if we have a clue in verse 33 that the Great White Throne Judgement takes place in heaven vs. on the restored earth in Jerusalem? Thanks Sis, and bless your heart. For your sake and His! TR
