The culminating reality of the new covenant is that it is a transforming covenant. That in the new covenant we look at the glory of the Lord revealed in the face of Jesus Christ unobstructed. We see Christ in all His wonder, in all His beauty and all His glory, as described in 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 6, "Light shines out of darkness, the One who has shone in our hearts gives us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." So as we look at the face of Christ we see the glory of God revealed. Nothing obscures us. We don't have a veil over our face like Moses did. There's nothing oblique or obscure, there's nothing hidden or dark or shadowy. The new covenant, the gospel, the message of Jesus Christ is clear. The light has been turned on and we can look with an unobstructed view right at the glory of God revealed in the face of Jesus Christ. And as we look at the glory of God and focus on the glory of God revealed in Christ, we are moved from one level of glory to the next by the Holy Spirit who is moving us into the image of the very glory we behold.Now that poses, at least for me and I trust for you, a very practical question. If we say we are going to glorify God, we are going to aim at the glory of God, we are going to focus on the glory of God, we are going to gaze on the glory of God, we are going to glorify God with our lives...how do we do that? How do we really move from one level of glory to the next? What is specifically and practically involved in that?John MacArthurHow do we really move from one level of glory to the next? What is specifically and practically involved in that? This study through 2 Corinthians seeks to answer these questions.
