The New Glory

2 Corinthians 3:7-18
“Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts! 

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”

There is a new glory that awaits those who choose to make a new covenant with Jesus Christ. You can read more about this “new covenant” in the post titled – Ministers of a New Covenant. If the old covenant came with a fading glory that Moses had to cover up, so the Israelites could handle the weight of that glory, how much more glorious will the glory of Jesus Christ living within us be?! A glory that is never fading!

Don’t allow your minds to be made dull by making a covenant with the old covenant. Christ died so that the veil could be removed between His glory and us. He tore the veil but also removed the veil that was used when Moses brought down the old covenant. We have permission to step into His glory and wonder! The Spirit of the Lord will take us into Jesus’ glory!

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Don’t stay in the bondage of the old covenant. Allow the new covenant that you are invited to make with Jesus Christ bring you into righteousness and freedom!
