DCLM DAILY MANNA FOR SUNDAY 11TH JULY 2021
TOPIC: IMPERISHABLE GLORY
TEXT: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18
KEY VERSE: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” – (2 Corinthians 3:18)
DCLM Daily Manna 11 July 2021 Today Outline:
All the beauties in this world will pale into insignificance when compared to the beauty and the glory of the coming Christ and by extension, all Christians. “When he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). We shall also share in His unfading and imperishable glory!
Paul contrasted the glory of the old covenant with the glory of the new. Since the sacrifices in the old covenant could not really set the offender free from sin, those who administered them laboured fruitlessly over sin. But the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross at Cavalry is far superior to the old covenant because with it, there is a complete justification and freedom from sin. By it, a sinner turns into a saint and becomes a joint-heir with the Son in the kingdom of God.
Today DCLM Daily Manna for Sunday 11th July 2021
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, his face glowed for being in God’s presence. Moses had to put on a veil so the people would not be terrified by the brightness of his face and from seeing its radiance which soon faded away. Moses and his veil illustrate the fading away of the old covenant and the veiling of the people’s mind because of their pride, hardness of heart, and refusal to repent.
When anyone becomes a Christian, the veil is stripped off, giving the individual eternal life and freedom from bondage to sin. That person can then be like a mirror, reflecting God’s glory. The glory that the Spirit imparts to the believer is more excellent and lasts longer than the glory that Moses experienced. By beholding the nature of God with unveiled minds, we can be more like Him. The more closely we follow Christ, the more we will be like Him and be partakers of His glory.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Christ is the Giver of everlasting glory.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 22-23
