We trace a single thread from the cleft of the rock to the cross. Moses begs, Show me your glory, and God answers by proclaiming his name—compassionate and just, merciful and holy. Paul says we now behold that same glory with unveiled faces as the Spirit transforms us into the image of Christ. We unpack why spiritual experience is never severed from revelation, how Ephesians 3 calls us to grasp the vast dimensions of Christ’s love, and why Galatians 3 warns us not to swap grace for grit. Along the way, we break down the difference between a mediator and an advocate, and we let that word reshape how we fight shame, face hardship, and return to joy.

This is a practical path, not a vague vibe. We talk about beholding Jesus where Scripture shows him: in the gospel that reveals God’s heart, justice, mercy, and holiness meeting at the cross. We offer simple ways to plumb the depths—slow reading, focused prayer, honest repentance, and trusted resources like Gentle and Lowly and Everyday Gospel—to turn moments of insight into a steady life with God. If you’ve been chasing a spiritual high, consider a better pursuit: a clear sight of Christ that the Spirit loves to bless.
