Read chapter 2
Shekinah glory
Shekinah is a Hebrew word not found in scripture but in later Jewish writings referring to the manifesting of God resting on something. Like the pillar of cloud by which God made Himself manifest to the Israelites of His presence and power on the earth (see Exodus 24).
"The Lord Jesus Christ is the divine glory...Jesus is the very embodiment of the divine glory made present in the world. Like the SHEKINAH to the people of god in the Old Testament and the Immanuel who is Jesus, the very glory of God is embodied in the person of Christ. An interchangeability between Christ and glory is observable here." Beth Moore
"When two sit and there are between the words of Torah, the SHEKINAH rests between them." Dr. C.H Dodd
Now when we allow God's glory to be manifested in our life there should be no partiality or favoritism. We are to love our neighbor as ourself (v.8) and to do that we are to have a healthy and balanced view of ourselves as scripture assumes. How has an unbalanced view of yourself made you show partiality. How can you allow the shekinah of the Lord in you midst? Don't just let it touch you, let it change you!
