TRANSFORMED WITH GLORY
Keywords 3:18
And we, who with unveiled faces all
reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with
ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
1.
God appeared in glory to Moses in the desert. His face would reflect God’s glory
when he spoke with the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. It was so glorious the
Israelites would not look at it, although it was a fading glory. This ministry,
however, did not bring life but condemnation and death. It looked forward to
the ministry of the Spirit, the ministry that brings righteousness and life.
The ministry of the gospel is filled with the Spirit.
It is the surpassing glory that lasts.
2. Paul testified to the church
in Corinth that they had the hope of glory. It is the glory of the Spirit.
Moses would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing it.
The glory was fading, and the people lived as if their faces were veiled. Their
minds were dull to the glory of God. Only in Christ is the veil taken away and
glory revealed. Only by the Spirit are we transformed into his image. We have
freedom from sin and a great hope to be transformed with ever-increasing glory
by the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Prayer Lord, heal my dullness and take the
veil away that I may know your surpassing glory. Transform me by your Spirit
into the image of Christ.
One Word Transformed
with ever-increasing glory
