EVER-INCREASING GLORY; OUR RIGHTEOUS FREEDOM

Therefore since we have such hope, we are very bold. We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. But their minds were made dull, for to this very 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 hearts. But when anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is Spirit, And where the Spirit of Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with un-veiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory. are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. - 2 Corinthians 2:12-18.

Would you consider the hope that we have in Christ Jesus ~ not just a fading look of radiance seen through a veil, nor something we have to ask a leader to go up on the mountain on our behalf to receive ~ but a transforming radiance which comes as we turn to the Lord. His glorious radiance will never fade.

Consider the glorious radiance on our faces, and how our minds and hearts are transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing measure. Consider the glory which is yet to come as the increase takes place. Oh, the glory which comes from the Lord. Our Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

"Thank you, Father, for setting us free."

May we walk in boldness and freedom as He continues to reveal His glory in and through us ~ his sons.
