                      Greater glory

​

​

​

For what was glorious

has no glory now in comparison

with the surpassing glory.

And if what was fading away

came with glory, how much greater

is the glory of that which lasts!

2 Corinthians 3:10,11

It is the glory of new covenant.

The new covenant is

by believing in Jesus,

they receive forgiveness of sin

and become God's children.

The law, receiving blessings

by doing good works was

God's and glorious but faded.

How greater surpassing glory

of lasting new covenant?

To God's children who most

are not much familiar with

the worldly glory,

this heavenly God's glory is

beyond imagination.

​

The 2 Corinthians is the Apostle Paul's second letter to the

Corinthian Churches. Letter is the most intimate and personal.

Two thousand years ago, the Corinth city in Greece reminds

us today's New York city. The Corinth seaboard city was

then a center of trade, merchandize, wealth and luxury.

Also there was the Venus temple which led people not only

to moral deterioration but also sexual disaster.

The original location of Humanism, which against Creator God

and focus on human, the Corinth city in Greece lay in

spiritually formless, empty and darkness.

Here by God's mercy small lights began to shine. They were the

Lord Jesus' house Churches. They belong to the low social class.

Envious and jealous devil attempted to destroy God's

House Churches by questioning Paul's integrity and Apostleship.

And it caused to delay and complicate the promised loving

collection as well for the poverty stricken Jerusalem church.  

It was the process of the life giving Gospel to us, and it

continues so. How beautiful are the feet those who

bring good news !
