The Face of JesusBy Elisabeth ElliotTaken From: A Lamp For My FeetThe face of Jesus: marred more than any man--spit upon, slapped, thorn-pierced, bloodied, sweating, the beard plucked, twisted in pain-- For my salvation. A glorious face, now. Let its light shine on me, O Light of Life. Let Your radiance fall on me, Sun and Savior, Lighten my darkness. 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.
