Paul had been comparing the old covenant with the new. He points back to Moses, whose face shone after being in God’s presence, and to the veil that covered that glory. But in Christ, Paul says the veil is removed. God’s people now behold the glory of the Lord with unveiled faces. And as they do, something happens. They are being changed.
*
God transforms His people as they behold the glory of Christ.

What holds our attention shapes us more than we realize. We become more like what we keep looking at, thinking about, admiring. So if our eyes keep returning to Christ, His character begins to work on ours too. Not all at once. Little by little. From one degree of glory to another.
*
As a Christian, we don’t change by trying harder to become impressive; we change by keeping our eyes on Christ. What has been holding most of our attention lately? Beloved, the more we behold Him, the more He shapes us into His likeness.

2 Corinthians 3:18 ~ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.
