Let’s look at 2 Corinthians 3:18 in Wuest:
Now, as for us, we all, with uncovered face, reflecting as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are having our outward expressions changed into the same image from one degree of glory to another according as this change of expression proceeds from the Lord, the Spirit, this outward expression coming from and being truly representative of our Lord.
As we look into the glory of God, live unto Him and have our souls renewed to allow that glory to change us on the outside, our outward expression will be changed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. It is a process that we are going through.
We must allow God to be God over our entire being—spirit, soul and body. Yield yourselves fully to the Holy Spirit. Live your life for God. Do what He tells you to do, whether you feel like it or not. Cause your will to be conformed to His Word. When you come to that place, the glory of God will be manifested in you. You will be yielded to the Holy Spirit. The things of God are not hard. You just have to know how He thinks and then flow with Him. You cannot do it on your own.
In Matthew 17 Jesus took Peter, James and John to the Mount of Transfiguration. Verse 2 in Wuest says:
And the manner of His outward expression was changed before them, that expression coming from and being representative of His inner being. And His face took on a different appearance so that it shone like the sun, and His outer garments became white like its light.
What happened to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration? The glory of God was revealed in Him. That which was inside Him began to show on the outside. It was not dropped upon Him from heaven. It came from inside Him. His outward expression changed to display His innermost being. The glory of God radiated through His body and through His clothing until He shone like the light of the sun.
We are being changed from glory to glory, from one degree of glory to another. As we allow the inner man to come into dominion over the outer man, the new creature in Christ Jesus will take over the life of the outer man. The outward expression will be changed. As Romans 12:2 tells us, “Don’t be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
