II Corinthians 3

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory” (18). The old covenant between Israel and God was glorious but transitory, and Moses veiled his face so the Israelites wouldn’t see the glory fading away (7-11). But now, Jesus has opened the way into the new covenant of the Spirit (6). By faith, we can have fellowship with the Lord face to face, forever. As we see him more clearly, his holiness, love, and beauty change us.

“You are a letter from Christ ...” (3). God writes his commitment to us not on stone, but on our hearts, where Christ dwells and does his work.
