The beauty of His glory

“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, ⁸ will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? ⁹ If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! ¹⁰ For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. ¹¹ And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!” (2 Corinthians 3 v 7-11

This beautiful section reminds us that it is in the unveiled Christ that we see the glory of God, we see and know God!

The beauty is in the fact that you have experienced this individually. Obviously you have not seen Him in an outward physical form but however, you have seen Him in a greater way. For you have experienced His reality to change you. He has written upon your heart His life. His submission to the will of His Father is printed deep in you. This glory has taken hold of you and you now know that it is what He wants from you also. From manger to cross He carried the marks that indicated His life was not His own, He was here for others. This is what others see in you as you have seen this in Him.

Paul calls for us all to know this:-

• The ministry that brings the Spirit is more glorious than what brought death (which had glory within it).
• The ministry that brings righteousness is more glorious than what brought condemnation (which had glory in it).
• The ministry that does not fade is more glorious than that what does (which had glory in it).

These 3 things, life, righteousness and permanence is a better way for the glory never dies. Where is that glory? Yes in Christ but also in you! Now that is beautiful!
