In every one of Paul's letter, the apostle prayed that his readers would know Jesus more:
"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints." (Ephesians 1: 17-18)
and
"For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
"That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God." (Colossians 1: 9-10)
The Holy Spirit within us is always bringing us to see Jesus fully as God, as the one who is all things for us.
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Corinthians 3: 18)
And just as Jesus shined brighter than the whitest, brightest element in man's imagination on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17: 1-6), so does His light transform us as we behold Him above all else in our lives:
"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." (Matthew 6: 22)
See Jesus in all His glory in the Word, and He will bring out His light in You!
