This sermon explains Paul’s contrast in 2 Corinthians 3 between the old covenant, which revealed God’s holiness and humanity’s condemnation under the law, and the new covenant in Christ, whose surpassing glory brings forgiveness, freedom, and complete reconciliation with God. The preacher emphasizes that truly grasping the weight of our sin and the finished work of Christ on the cross produces boldness, gratitude, and confidence, reminding believers that God’s wrath was fully satisfied in Jesus and that no further condemnation remains for those in Him.
Finally, the sermon challenges Christians to fix their attention on the glory of Christ rather than constantly seeking new experiences or signs, arguing that beholding the gospel is what the Holy Spirit uses to transform believers “from glory to glory” into the likeness of Christ.
