My Daily Meditation
Today’s Reading
The Second Epistle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter 3:7-11
7 If then the ministration of death written with letters and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance (which glory is gone away.) (a)
8 How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be more glorious? (b)
9 For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. (c)
10 For even that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glory.
11 For if that they should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth be glorious.
(a) Editor’s notation - Paul refers here to the ten commandments
(b) Editor’s thought - As previously stated in yesterday’s study, the law brings condemnation and death while the Holy Spirit of the Living God brings us renewed life.
(c) Editor’s thought - We now enter into that renewed life with righteousness imputed to us through grace via the sacrifice of Jesus.
