Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:18

This is for followers of Jesus Christ, then, now and forever.  It makes no sense at all to non-believers.  But is full of meaning for us who believe.  It is the key to all spiritual freedom!

All of us are being changed as we look at the Lord with open, unveiled faces which allows us to reflect the glory of the Lord.  Veiled faces reveal troubled faces that do not reflect the glory of the Lord.  This describes all unbelievers.

Furthermore, we who have no veils on our faces are being transformed into his image. By reflecting on his face we are profoundly changed.  I am discovering this more and more – even at age 91!  But I need to think more about “the intensifying glory.”  Always deeper and more profound.

Is this “heaven talk” or is it for me, here and now?  It is clearly for you and me now, here on this Thursday morning in Lancaster, Pennsylvania!  Lord, may my thirst for you grow and grow.
