Glory Road

2 Corinthians 3:7-11

But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound in glory. 10 For indeed what had glory, in this case has no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if that which fades away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.

Paul does not want us to miss the glory road in 2 Cor 3.7-11! He uses the word 11 times so that we are sure not to miss it.  The glory road is the path traveled from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant or what Paul calls the ministry of the Spirit. The ministry of death had glory because it pointed people to their need for Christ. The ministry of the Spirit has even more glory because it helps people to have changed hearts and releases them from bondage to the Law to freedom in Christ and overflowing, ever present grace.

The glory road then, is a path from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant to eternity.
