The New Stone Tablets
• Stephanie Johnson • Series: Out of Egypt
The biblical account of Moses' radiant face after descending Mount Sinai provides a compelling picture of how divine encounters should transform believers. Just as Moses physically reflected God's glory, our lives should manifest visible changes that reflect Christ's presence to those around us. This transformation appears through altered behaviors, shifted priorities, and renewed relationships that demonstrate God's work within us. Maintaining this spiritual radiance requires intentional practices - much like keeping a device charged. Regular Bible reading, prayer, corporate worship, and Christian community are essential elements for staying spiritually vital. However, various obstacles can dim our reflection of Christ, including cultural influences, modern idols, and unresolved brokenness. Overcoming these challenges demands a conscious effort to prioritize spiritual disciplines and maintain an active relationship with God. Practical application involves specific actions like pausing before reacting, speaking with grace and truth, showing compassion, and making decisions based on biblical principles. Breaking negative cycles and cultivating gratitude also help ensure that our lives consistently reflect Christ's light to others. This spiritual transformation isn't just about personal growth - it's about becoming living testimonies that draw others toward God's truth and love.
