The .Human Face "For God Who commanded the light to shine .out of darltness, hath shined in, dur hearts, to give the •light of , the glorious IP knowledge of the glory of, God in the .face of Jesus Christ" (2. Corinthians 4:6) The human face mirrors so much of the human soul.We look not 'at' but `into and. behind' a face and glimpse the inner life. When the spirit has flown, the face is but a vacant, empty mask. ° One ,of the` touching stories from the pew of that famous Edinburgh, Dr. ' John Brown concerns a friend of his father, who, after, two short years lost by death- his beautiful and beloved wife. Shortly after the funeral, he purchases from, an Edinburgh art store eight prepared ivories and the necessary pigments, and with no previous training to guide him, 4 retired to the privacy of his study. For- fourteen days, he shut himself away from everyone, but at the end of the time emerged haggard and weary but triumphant, holding in his hand the one remaining ivory on which was a •mdst life -like likeness—.of.....his •' -deeply-beloved wife. • What about the face of Jesus? It, too,. was a human face, reflecting many moods° . and mirroring, varied emotions. His ti face' was ever changing. With righteous indignation it could look on the Pharisees and Temple ° desecrators. Little children were caressed by its tenderness. Anchorless -multitudes-_ found peace" -under...: the shadow of its compassion.- At the grave of Lazarus it was wet with tears. At Gethsemane °and Golgotha it was drawn with bitter anguish. On Hermon and on Olivet it was .transfigured with an unearthly glory. It is the Divine ordering that q4 as we look onthe face of Jesus a• veil hides' much from our eyes. .Also the portraits of our Lord extant are not precisely so. We are to walk by faith and not by sight. We are to have heart fellowship with the Unseen. Furthermore in the wisdom of God the reflection of Christ's blessed face is to be seen in the faces of those who truly love and live with Him. ' There is the Light of "Truth" from the face of Jesus. The human face may be only a farce — a veneer or a deception. But in the face of Jesus who said "I am the 'Truth" there is the precise light concerning that which was, is now, and which shall. be. Thomas• Nast,, the American cartoonist, attended a party. 'It was suggested he draw a caricature of all present. He did' this with a few swift strokes of his pencil. The .sketches were given to the guests • for identification. . All recognized everyone else but hardly anyone +k recognized. himself. All of us have a blind spot when we turn. our eyes inward. He who, knows us altogether, opens - our eyes , to see and our hearts to know God, Others and ourselves. - There is that light of "Transformation" from His face.6 In one sehse the words of the hymn :writer 'are perfectly true: "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face; And the things of earth will grow strangely dim , In the light of His glory and grace.' Andre Gide, the French novelist, in his lovely short story "The Pastoral Symphony" tells of a young girl, Crtrude, who had been .blind from 'birth. The picture which she had .of folk around her neither her friends nor family tried to upset. An operation oh. her eyes enabled. her . to see. She made two crushing discoveries: one was that Nature was more beautiful than she had imagined; the other was that the faces of people were sadder than she imagined — lined with care, inner anodety and, restlessness. She almost v ished' her eyes had never been opened. The finest inscription in the Harvard Chapel is the one to the memory of Dr. Peabody:, "For 36 years he walked among the professors and students of Harvard Unilrersity and Ovist not that is face did shine."
