In this lecture on 2 Corinthians 3:10-12, Fr. Gabriel continues Paul's argument that the glory of the New Covenant in Christ far surpasses the fading glory of the Old, using the image of Moses descending Mount Sinai with a veiled face to illustrate how God's people once could only glimpse His glory from a distance and through strict external law. He explains that Christians are now called to something far greater — to behold the glory of God with unveiled faces and be transformed by it — and challenges the group to honestly examine whether they truly desire God above all else, reminding them that the yearnings and humbling struggles of life are ultimately meant to awaken in us a deeper hunger for the Kingdom of Heaven.
