HHMI ~ 2 Corinthians 3 ~ Spirit vs Letter ~ Pt 6 ~ Glory in Self v/s Glory to Yeshua

In this session we continue to delve into 2 Corinthians 3. In no way was Paul trying to communicate to the believers in Corinth NOT to follow the Torah. He was communicating with them HOW to follow the Torah. Paul is addressing HOW do we minister. Paul is admonishing us to minister by the “spirit”. Ministering in the spirit is the very heart of Torah. But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 2 Corinthians 3: 7-8 What does it mean to bring glory to yourself vs bring glory to the God of Israel? We are not to bring glory to ourselves. We are to do all things to bring glory to Yeshua. People can be in ministry and be proclaiming the name of Yeshua and there may be a certain glory to it. But if they are doing it with a wrong heart, to bring glory to themselves, to bring attention to themselves, if they are in competition/rivalry with others, then this is ministering in the “letter”, ministering in the flesh, NOT ministering in the spirit. Ministering in the spirit puts all the attention and focus on Yeshua, not on self. This is MUCH MORE glorious. God’s complaint with the people was that they were doing things religiously, outwardly, and praising Him with their lips, but that their hearts were far from Him. They were not following the HEART of the Torah. What is the heart of the Torah? It is all about how you treat others.
