When God instructed Moses to build the ark of the covenant as the place where He will commune with Moses so that He can instruct the Isrealites on the way of life, He specically mentioned in Exodus 25:19 that the Cherubim are to be attached to the mercy seat and are to be made of the same hammered gold as the Mercy Seat but the Cherubim were to look downward on the mercy seat. This is symbolic that these cherubim are agents of mercy.   

It is in between the mercy seat and the cherubim that the glory of God appears. This glory of God that shows up within the cherubim is called Shekinah and this term was used to describe Jesus in Hebrews 1:3 (AMP). 

Jesus is the glory of God that shows up between the Cherubim but Jesus in John 17:10,22 gave this glory to the believer. Consequently, every believer today should be bold to claim that he/she is the glory of Jesus and by inference, the glory of God.  

How does your being the glory of God Himself affect the way you live your life?
