Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Corinthians 4:6

"Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." — 2 Corinthians 4:6 (ASV)

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

There is the very glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, for He is "very God of very God," and he who only thinks of the wondrous mystery of the Incarnate Deity, and the simple but marvellous plan of salvation through Christ's atoning sacrifice, will see infinitely more glory there than in all God's works in creation or providence. Well does Watts say,-

"The spacious earth and spreading flood
Proclaim the wise and powerful God,
And your rich glories from afar
Sparkle in every rolling star.
But in Christ's looks a glory stands,
The noblest labour of your hands,
The pleasing lustre of his eyes
Outshines the wonders of the skies."
