Warmth and Sunlight

His face was like the sun shining in full strength.
Revelation 1: 16, RSV

"When Moses returned from the mountain of revelation, his face was shining so brightly that the people could not look on it. The Aaronic benediction prays, "The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you" (Num 6: 25, RSV). In Christ the blessing of God is made personal in the shining face: "His face was like the sun shining in full strength." God in Christ is warmth and sunlight."
