A reflector . ( Matthew 5 v 14 - 16 )

'The Lord make His face to shine upon you' It is G.J. Wenham  who writes,' When God smiles on His people, they can be sure that He will be gracious to them, that is, He will deliver them and save them from their enemies, sickness and sin' ( Psalm 4 v 1/ 6 v 2/ 41 v 4 ) When Moses came out of the presence of God ,the divine glory reflected on his face ( Exodus 34 v 29 ff),though he was not aware of it. Raymond Brown comments,'This priestly benediction anticipates the time when not only Moses but all who receive God's blessing will know the 'shining face' of God's approval, experience His presence and reflect His radiance in their everyday lives'.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         A question                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  What do others see when they look at us?
