“BEHIND THE CURTAIN” 2 Corinthians 3

We invite others… - to come and see

2 Corinthians 3

2 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all.

3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the

Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

We invite others… - because God transfers truth through people

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in

ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who has made us

sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but

the Spirit gives life.

We invite others… - to observe our God, not our good

7 Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites

could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8 will not

the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation,

the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 10 Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has

come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was being brought to

an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.

12 Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face

so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end.

If we do not invite people behind the curtain, they cannot see where God is working.

We limit other's access to us because we have limited God's grace in us. 

14 But their minds were hardened 14 But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil

remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15 Yes to this day whenever Moses

is read a veil lies over their hearts is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the

same image from one degree of glory to another same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the lord who is the Spirit.

Will you let people IN?
