Reading: II Corinthians 3:12-18
(Amplified)
Since we have such glorious hope (such joyful and confident
expectation), we speak very freely and openly and fearlessly. Nor do we act
like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze
upon the finish of the vanishing splendor which had been upon it. In fact,
their minds were grown hard and calloused -- they had become dull and had lost
the power of understanding; for until this present day, when the Old Testament
is being read, that same veil still lies on their hearts, not being lifted to
reveal that in Christ it is made void and done away. Yes, down to this very day
whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their minds and hearts. But whenever a
person turns in repentance to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken
away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). And all of us, as with unveiled
face, because we continued to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the
glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image,
in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; for this
comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit.
