#65 - A Deeper Unveiling of Glory, Man (2 Cor. 3)

Listen Later

In today’s discussion of 2 Cor. 3, we focus on Paul seeing the new covenant as a reality in the Corinthian Christians and our unveiled experience of God’s glory in comparison to Moses and the Israelites.

 

Questions discussed:

  • What are the “letters of recommendation” early in the passage?
  • How does Paul connect passages in Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the Corinthian believers to defend his ministry?
  • How does Paul view the law in relationship to grace and the gospel?
  • What is the difference between the veil of Moses and the removed veil for those in Christ?
  • What does it mean to behold the glory of the Lord with “unveiled face” (v. 18)?
  • How does 3:18 connect to the ancient yet ongoing conversation about theosis and deification? (resource given below)
