2 Corinthians 3:1-18
LET us think of this, whenever we are cast down on account of our weakness, or the difficulties we meet with in our way. We are weak, but Jesus is strong; and His strength is made perfect in our weakness. He has given us His word, that He will work in us to will and to do of His own good pleasure. He speaks, and it is done. The word of the Lord knows no obstacles or difficulties; all things must obey Him. When He sent Moses to Pharaoh, He said, "Certainly I will be with thee:" and the Lord's...

The Bible teaches that we become like what we worship. That important insight is found in today's text. Let's break it down this way:
But we all - that is, all true believers;
with open or unveiled face - sin causes a veil between our faces and the Lord. When we confess and forsake the sin, we have an open or unveiled face;
beholding as in a glass - the glass or mirror is the Word of God, in...
Bible Verses: 2 Corinthians 3:18
Read MoreWhen Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments, there were two remarkable features. First of all, his face shone. He had been in the presence of the Lord, who revealed Himself in a bright, shining glory cloud known as the Shekinah. The radiance on the face of Moses was a borrowed glow. After speaking with God, the lawgiver carried away some of the splendor and effulgence of the glory. It was a transfiguring experience.
The second notable...

We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the
Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory. (2
Corinthians 3:18)
The word 'beholding' is a strong word; it is not
just taking a look, it is 'fixing our gaze.' That is what the New Testament
means by beholding, behold. We all, fixing our gaze upon Christ,...

Read MoreOur sufficiency is from God. (2
Corinthians 3:5)
We go through times of trial
and test under the hand of God, and it is so easy to get into that frame of mind
which says in effect, 'The Lord does not want us, He need not have us!' We let
everything go, we do not care about anything; we have gone down under our trials
and we are rendered useless. I do not believe the...

The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. (2 Corinthians 3:6)
If you want to know the mind of
the Spirit about anything, you will know it by quickening, by
Life in that direction. If you want to know what the Spirit is
against, you will know it because there is death in that
direction in your spirit, you have no Life, you say, in that
direction. All right,...

Their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted
in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
(2 Corinthians 3:14)
It is no small thing to have
true spiritual sight. It represents a mighty victory. It is not going to come to
you by just sitting passively and opening your mouths for it to...

When one 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 liberty. (2 Corinthians
3:16,17)
Liberty from what? Well,
if we turn to the Lord, and are occupied with Him in the way we have indicated,
the Holy Spirit sets us free. It may be you are struggling, striving, fighting,

Read MoreAll of us reflect the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces, we are becoming more like Him with ever-increasing glory by the Lord's Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18 ISV)
I believe that if we are living in the radiance of Divine Life, there will be
something of it betrayed by our faces. At any rate, the world will know
something if we are really living in touch with the Lord, and there will be a...

The great deficiency to which I refer is the lack of spiritual discernment, especially among our leaders. How there can be so much Bible knowledge and so little insight, so little moral penetration, is one of the enigmas of the religious world today. I think it is altogether accurate to say that there has never before been a time in the history of the church when so many people were engaged in Bible study as are so engaged today. If the knowledge of Bible doctrine were any guarantee of...
