What is the majesty of the ministry of the New Testament and its glory afforded to the faithful?

First: The ministry of the Old Testament was glorious. For example, when Moses the prophet received the tablets of the law on Mount Sinai, but the people feared death, and asked that God would not speak to them, lest they die (Ex. 20:19; Deut. 18:16), so they received the spirit of bondage to fear (Rom. 8:15). But we received the Spirit of power and love (2 Tim. 1:7), the Spirit of adoption by God the Father (Rom. 8:15).

Second: The face of Moses, the servant of the law, shone. But the apostles are ministers of the New Testament or the Gospel of Christ which is engraved by the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the faithful that are of flesh, and not of stone (2 Cor. 3:3).

Third: Moses offered the letter that kills. But the apostles offer the Gospel of the Spirit who gives life (2 Cor. 3:6).

Fourth: Moses received glory, and his face shone, though only for a time. But the glory we receive from Christ grows continuously, and through it we rise from glory to glory until we reach the eternal glories.

Fifth: The law was proclaimed through symbols and hidden shadows. But our Gospel became clear and simple.

Sixth: The Jews beheld the temporary glory of Moses. But Christians behold the person of Christ living in them. The Jews saw Him on the face of Moses. But we see Him within ourselves, as in a mirror reflecting the brightness of His heavenly glory.
