And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar, and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.
The glory of the Lord forgives and consumes completely our sins and produces in the forgiven a reverence that surpasses all other compulsions. In the presence of God our Lord and Savior, we feel the weight of glory. It is not the oppressive weight of the world on one's shoulders, but a reliable, reassuring weight like gravity that demands respect while providing the freedom to jump as high as you can without the threat of floating away.
