"They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed." (Psalm 34: 5)
When you see Jesus, you are taken from shame and self into glory and greater grace and knowledge of the Lord:
"17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18But 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: 17-18)
The Spirit of the Lord is working in us and moving us into living out the Life that He is bringing into us (Philippians 2: 12-13)
Now, Jesus is the Light of the World (John 8: 12), and He lives in every believer (Colossians1: 27) by the Holy Spirit.
Yet He also sits at the right hand of the Father. He is our life, and therefore on Him let us look and be transformed:
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." (Colossians 3: 1)
and
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3: 2)
Keep seeing Jesus in the Word, and you will be transformed more into His likeness, from glory to glory!
