2 Corinthians 1-3

It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage. In chapter 3 Paul paints a picture that displays the glory of the Law of Moses, God's new revelation of himself to the nation of Israel, and the Gospel of Christ, God's new revelation of himself to ALL nations. The movie The Ten Commandments depicts a fabulous presentation of God's glory to Moses and the nation. And the movie doesn't do reality justice.  How much more wonderful is the glory of Jesus' Gospel; an angel announced birth, a mountaintop transfiguration, an impossible resurrection, and an unheard of ascension. All of that so that God could offer people, of all nations, his grace and righteousness; completely free of charge.
