Why is Christ important in understanding God's glory?

Christ is integral to our understanding of God's glory. Hebrews 1:3 states, 'Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person.' This indicates that to know Christ is to know God. The glory of God is manifest in the person and work of Jesus, as the ultimate revelation of God's character. Furthermore, John 1:14 reminds us, 'And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.' Recognizing Christ as God's glory inspires worship and acknowledgment of His redemptive work through which we come to comprehend God's nature.
