Amazing Mirrors of God

This 1995 series invites listeners to explore the many ways God’s glory is reflected in creation, in His Word, and in His people. Using the imagery of mirrors, Brother Stan Isbell shows how disciples are called to reflect the divine character—shaped, polished, and illuminated by the light of the gospel. Each class unfolds a new perspective on how God’s purpose is revealed, drawing connections from Genesis to the life of Jesus and to our own walk of faith today.

Class 1 – Divine Light from Eden

The series opens with a look at the first moments of creation, when light broke into the darkness. Just as mirrors cannot reflect without light, so disciples must first be illuminated by the Word of God. This session sets the stage by showing how humanity was called to reflect God’s glory, and how that purpose has guided His plan from the beginning.

Class 2 – Reflections in the Tabernacle

Attention then turns to the laver of the tabernacle, made from the polished mirrors of faithful women. From this symbol, we learn the importance of cleansing, preparation, and the call to holiness. The class reflects on how God’s people were meant to mirror His character in their national life and personal devotion.

Class 3 – Jesus Christ Face to Face

In this lesson, the perfect mirror of the Father is revealed in Jesus. As the one who reflected God’s character without blemish, he shows what it means to live in complete harmony with the Father. The class highlights how disciples are invited to follow his example and, through him, behold the glory of God face to face.

Class 4 – The Looking Glass of Liberty

Paul’s words about the “law of liberty” provide the foundation for this class. Just as a mirror reveals what is before it, so God’s Word reveals our true selves. By continuing to look into this mirror, disciples are changed from glory to glory, learning to put away the veil of blindness and walk in the freedom of the Spirit.

Class 5 – Reflections in Fellowship

This class considers how the light of God is best reflected in the bonds of fellowship. Drawing on both the science of light and the teaching of Scripture, the speaker illustrates how our lives as individuals and as an ecclesia must be aligned so that the reflection of God’s glory is clear, undivided, and united in love.

Class 6 – On Earth as It Is in Heaven

The series concludes with a vision of the kingdom, when God’s glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Just as the moon reflects the sun, so the saints will shine as lights in the coming age. This final class lifts the heart toward that great day, when the reflections we now strive to show will be perfected in immortality.
