In the old covenant, God’s glory was revealed through the perfect law, which revealed our unrighteousness, bringing condemnation and death. But a surpassing glory is now revealed in the ministry of the Spirit that brings to us the perfect righteousness of Christ. And this glory will be everlasting.

Such a hope brings a boldness not found in the old covenant, where Moses had to wear a veil to hide its fading glory from the Israelites. Only Christ removes this veil and brings freedom to those who turn to him. Our eyes are open to see the glory of the Lord, and reflect it, as we are transformed into his glorious image. May we live in this freedom. May we preach Christ who removes the veil from people’s eyes so they can see his surpassing glory.
Application: Thank you, Lord, for the righteousness and freedom of the new covenant in Christ.
One Word: The glory of the new covenant
