Keswick Evenings - 2 Corinthians - 2

Liam Goligher spoke on the Sunday evening we were at Keswick this year on 2 Cor 3.

Liam spoke of:
1) the terrible glory of the old covenant, verse 7
2) the surprising glory of the new covenant, verses 7-10
3) the transforming glory of the new covenant, verses 12-18.

I think Liam made too big a distinction between the old covenant and the new covenant. The major difference between the two is fulfilment. The new covenant is the old covenant fulfilled in Christ. If you make too much of the difference in other way you run the risk of separating the purposes of God in too dramatic a form, i.e. you end up with Christ being a wholly new and unexpected work of God.
