Lesson 3802

 (Lesson 3802)(06-16-22) 2nd Corinthians 3:7-18

    “ But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

    In today’s lesson, Paul compares the law of Moses to the new law of grace. Therein, Paul made the point that, with the death and resurrection of Christ, the Law of Moses was “abolished”. 

    As Christians, we are to place our faith solely in Jesus Christ for remission of ALL sin. Seeing that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice for ALL sin.

    Sadly, there area too many “Christians” today, who believe they must still live by the rules of the old laws. Paul clearly says, in today’s lesson, that the old laws no longer apply.~
