We will be opening up the scriptures to Corinthians 3, 7 through 18.

Now 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.

Transitionary through it was will not the ministry of the spirit be even more glorious.

If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious,

how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness.

For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the

surpassing glory and if it was transitatory came with glory how much

greater is the glory of that which lasts?

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

We are not like Moses who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away.

But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the Old Covenant is read.

It has not been removed because only in Christ is it taken away

even to this day when Moses is read a veil covers their heart.

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord,

the veil is taken away.

Now the Lord is the spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom and we all who with unveiled faces

contemplate the Lord's glory are being transformed in his image with ever increasing glory, which comes from the

Lord who is the Spirit.

This is the word of the Lord. Go ahead and have a seat.

Hey, if we have not met yet, my name is Gerald.
