The face of Jesus:
- marred more than any man—
spit upon,
slapped,
thorn-pierced,
bloodied,
sweating,
the beard plucked,
twisted in pain–
A glorious face, now.
Let its light shine on me, O Light of Life.
Let Your radiance fall on me, Sun and Savior,
Then grant me this by Your grace:
That I, in turn, may give
“The light of the knowledge of the glory of God” (2 Cor 4:6 AV)
As I see it in the face of Jesus Christ.
~ Elisabeth Elliot, A Lamp For My Feet
Stray Thoughts 
This makes me want to sing, “Thy lamp is a light unto my feet.”
I had to laugh at Sally’s comment because I am singing, “Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Heart.”
I love this Elisabeth Elliott devotional, though I haven’t been reading in it lately. Your post makes me want to return to it soon.
Beautiful.
I got lost down a rabbit hole exploring her website… and then reading Lars ramblings. LOL! What an amazing life she’s lead! Greatly blessed!
This is touching, Barbara, in light of the Holy Week I am reminded of Isaiah 53…
I’m with Sally… I am singing that song to myself even now♥
