Sermon20121014

2 Corinthians 3:7-11

7 But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,
8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?
9 For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory.
10 For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it.
11 For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

II. The old covenant was a ministry of condemnation, yet had continuing glory vv 9-19.

III. The old covenant was a ministry which progressively fades in glory, yet the glory of the new remains. vs.11
