Glowing faces

2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Unveiled faces? What's that all about? I had to read the verses before this verse to actually understand the context. Actually had to read a big bulk to get it.

In a nutshell, Paul writes about Moses and how he used to have to wear a veil after he spent time with God because of his glowing face.

But in this verse it says that no longer is it required that we have veils! We have unveiled faces! In earlier verses it says it's because Christ took it away! How cool is that?! No longer are we seperated from God or someone who has a glowing face (oh the glory!) but we too can also be transformed into His image!
And get this, His glory keeps increasing!

Which makes me think, if we think about His glory (i.e. how amazing and awesome He is)... we get transformed into His likeness... Does that mean we'll have glowing faces like Moses?? That'll be cool. Only we don't have to hide our faces, which is interesting too.
I imagine sparking some very interesting conversations with people around me.
Perhaps it would go something like this:

Glum faced chap: you look like you're glowing!
Glowing faced me: oh really?!
Glum faced chap: it can either be two things-- you're either pregnant or in love!

And that makes me think, yeah people do tend to glow when they are either pregnant or in love. Perhaps being contemplative of God's glory will make us glow like as if we're very much in love.
And perhaps as Christians we should take up this activity, so all Christians all have glowing faces so it's the norm and that you're also glowing because you're full of God's image. That would be cool.

Let's pass on this notion. I like it.
