The Glory of the New Covenant Ministry (2 Cor. 3) [Jay Thomas]

If you have ever been accused of not having what it takes to serve Jesus, you know the pain of rejection, betrayal, and perhaps barbs that go to the soul. False accusations are only as powerful as our sense of self outside of the gospel, though. In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul preaches the contrast between the Old Covenant and New Covenant, not for nerding out but to encourage the Corinthians that he is on the Spirit's side. By extension, if we are simply and earnestly presenting Jesus through the Word by the power of the Spirit, we are on the Spirit's side, too. And when we do that, the people who are changed by the Spirit and who are able to see Jesus become our true resumes. Wow. How might you let your heart rest in that this week?
