Joh 10:11 "I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.​

Tablets of Stone versus Human Hearts
​

You are manifestly an epistle of Christ…written…not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. (2 Corinthians 3:3)


The old covenant of law was written upon "tablets of stone." The new covenant of grace is written upon "tablets…of the heart." This is another vital contrast between the old and new covenants. This difference again decides whether we draw upon man's sufficiency or upon God's...

[IisJustMe]

And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands
and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from
them and was carried up into heaven. And they, after worshiping
Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in
the temple praising God.
--Luke 24:50-53

Happy Pentecost Sunday

Just saying Hi and Gbye before the Update happens.

I pray these changes are going to be good. I'm really going to miss this layout the most.
I SO prefer a bigger, wider, brighter page.

Oh well, Don't forget to save your info & armour inventory

Ministry of Death versus Ministry of Life
​

The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious…how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? (2 Corinthians 3:6-8)


These verses contain another contrasting choice that results in people either living by bankrupt human resources, or by bountiful heavenly ones. This contrast is "the ministry of death versus the ministry of life." These terms come from correlating four phrases: "the letter kills…the Spirit gives life…the ministry of death…the ministry of the Spirit." Of course, the old covenant of law is the "ministry of death," and the new covenant of grace is the "ministry of life" ("ministry of the Spirit…the Spirit gives life").

Ministry of Condemnation versus Ministry of Righteousness
​

For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. (2 Corinthians 3:6-8)


Here is another vivid contrast between living by the old covenant of law versus living by the new covenant of grace. God's perfect law is a "ministry of condemnation," which compels people to draw upon man's sufficiency. God's glorious grace is a "ministry of righteousness," which allows people to draw upon God's sufficiency...

 

[Psalms34]

 

[IisJustMe]

For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth
vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a
blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and
close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.
-- Hebrews 6:7, 8

Fading Glory versus Remaining Glory

​

For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. (2 Corinthians 3:11)


The old covenant of law and the new covenant of grace both have a glory about them. However, the glory of one (the old covenant) is a fading glory, whereas, the other (the new covenant) has a remaining glory. One is related to man's sufficiency. The other is related to God's sufficiency...
