The Weight of Glory

Wow. I just read the article by that name (by C.S. Lewis). What an incredible picture of God's glory. It is the first of a book of compilations of short essays by Lewis, and I can see why the compiler states, "The addresses [essays] are arranged chronologically except for..."The Weight of Glory" which is so magnificent that not only do I dare to consider it worthy of a place with some of the Church Fathers, but I fear I should be hanged by Lewis's admirers if it were not given primacy of place."

I agree. It's short, it's written simply and yet profoundly (okay, so Lewis uses a few big words and weighty phrases), and it carries one into a deep awe of the glory that awaits us some day. It never ceases to amaze me how God spoke through C.S. Lewis so powerfully. I highly recommend that everyone seek out a copy of this essay and take the time to read it.
