The Glory of the New Covenant 7Now 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, fading though it was,8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?9If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!10For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory.11And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away.14But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.15Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever–increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

When we spend time (abide) in the Lord, as we grow more and more in Him, We look more and more like Him. My friend whom I had not seen for 3 years was looking at some of my famly pics. She saw one particular pic of my husband and said "wow, that must be before he was saved." Even the instant the 'veil' was removed from his eyes to see the Truth, his countance had changed. The Glory of God changed his countance instantly. How awesome is our Heavenly Daddy.

‘You look just like your Granddaddy.’ Those were the words that fell from my Mother’s lips as we ate at a restaurant. That was not the first time I heard that phrase or one similar to it. While visiting the Church I grew up in, everyone said I look more and more like Granddaddy every day. A few days after he died, as I walked into the kitchen, friends of the family all stopped in mid sentence with mouths wide open. I look so much like Granddaddy that they thought I was Granddaddy. The biggest surprise comes when I look in the mirror. I really do look like him.
Paul must have glanced in a mirror as he wrote the letter to the Church in Corinth. ‘With uncovered faces, we behold the glory of God as if we are looking in a mirror. Day by day, Glory to Glory, we are being changed more and more into His image by the Holy Spirit.’ Paul is saying that as we worship God we begin to look like God. Wrinkled brows from frowning upon enemies become twinkling eyes and high cheeks from smiling as we bless those that persecute us. Clenched fist become as open hands on the Cross while we sacrifice temporary happiness for eternal joy. Wow. God loves us so much that not only did He send Perfection to die for us, He causes us to look like the essence of Perfection: Jesus. It is easy for me to hear that I look like Granddaddy, for it is hereditary. When was the last time someone told me I reminded them of Jesus? After all, hereditary means it is uncontrollable because it is in your blood. Is not Calvary a matter of Blood? If I am dipped in His Blood, I should look like the carrier of the Blood. Have I ever heard someone say, ‘you sounded just like God when you said that’? When was the last time you heard it? Do you walk like your Savior? Have your words been formed into His? Are your thoughts the ideals of Heaven? What a compliment to hear. ‘You look like your Father.’

It matters not where we are in this life or when. The spirit of our Christ Jesus is always there, waiting in the wings of our life. Always nudging, tapping on our shoulder. When we chose to notice and fix our attention, our gaze on him, then a miraculous change begins happening to the nature of our being...
