He Has Caught Our Attention

In his new book, The Orphan Heart, Larry Burden gives an interesting definition of “glory” from the Greek man lookingword “doxa”:  “the appearance, form or aspect of a person which catches our attention and commands our recognition”. The Person, Jesus, has “caught our attention” and “commands our recognition”. He has truly caught our attention and commanded our recognition when we begin to emulate Him. Jesus told His disciples, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit…” (Jn.15:8). So, we are to follow in the same pattern as THE SON and live in such a manner and to such a degree of fulfillment that the Father, through us, is “catching the attention” of people wherever we go. Jesus told Philip, “…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father…” (Jn.14:9). May it be said of us also.
