God's Glory in Christ

2 Corinthians 3:4-11

⁴Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. ⁵Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. ⁶He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

The Glory of the New Covenant

⁷Now 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, fading though it was, ⁸will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? ⁹If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! ¹⁰For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. ¹¹And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

What exactly do we mean when we say something is glorious or has its own glory? J.I. Parker, the famed theologian, calls God’s glory “His splendour on display.” I believe God’s glory means the fullness of who He is. Nothing we do or don’t do will ever add to or subtract from God’s glory. Thus when we say that God’s glory was in Christ, it means that the full expression of all that God is was found in Christ.

Moses, the one whom God chose to be the Lawgiver, had a glory that was reflected and temporal, unlike our Lord’s intrinsic glory. The old covenant given through Moses through the Law offered no inner transformation, but the new covenant administered by the Holy Spirit brings about the total transformation of both the inner and outer man. The greatest privilege of a Christian is to be transformed into that glory day by day – a metamorphosis made possible by God’s indwelling Spirit and this glory, instead of fading away day by day, will glow brighter and greater with each passing day.

Today, we do not need to veil our faces as in Moses’ days. For God’s Spirit who fills our lives will reveal His glory in and through us for all men to see. We, however, need constantly to yield our lives to Him for cleansing and sanctification.


Commitment:
Lord, I want to repent of everything that does not reflect your true glory to the world around me.
Lord, I want to repent in the following areas of my life so that the fullness of your glory might be found in me:_______.

Prayer:
Lord, may your glory shine through me as I conform more and more to the likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
