When Moses went on the Mountain to talk to God, He spoke to him face to face (Numbers 12:3-8). After these encounters, "he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD" (Ex 34:29).
Other passages about Radiance include "The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes," "Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame," and "Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy..." (Ps 19:8, 34:5, Isaiah 60:5).
Then in Ephesians 5:26 it says, "to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless."
So we started talking - Moses didn't get radiant by just reading the pentatuch. He had face-time with God.
God wants the entire church to be radiant through time with Him! How much face time am I giving God to allow that? Good stuff to think about.... and then act on, don't you think?
Another thought - the moon has no light in and of itself, except what it reflects from the sun. Do I reflect the SON?
