Commentary on 2 Corinthians 3:10

Theological / Devotional

No glory. Not in the absolute, but in a comparative sense. The glory of the ministry centering in the sacrificial system was great, but when compared with that of Christ it appeared as nothing. The former ministry has thus lost its glory. It is completely eclipsed. The brilliance of the moon and the stars fades away when the sun shines forth. So it is with Christ, the Sun of Righteousness. The transcendent glory of Christ’s incarnation, life, sufferings, death, and resurrection, and of His revelation of the love and character of God—His holiness, justice, goodness, and mercy—makes the sacrificial system, well adapted as it was for its time, wholly inadequate.
