From Glory to Glory: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18

Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was.

The comparison began. The ministry that brought death. Diakonia tou thanatou. The law. Engraved in letters on stone. The tablets of Sinai.

Came with glory. Moses descended the mountain, face shining. The glory was real.

So that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses. The radiance was too bright. They couldn't gaze. Because of its glory. The Sinai glory.
