'If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!'
2 Corinthians 3:9
When Moses met with the Ancient of Days, he soaked in a presence that clung to his skin, yet passed no further in. Without the reconciliation of Christ, the glory of the Lord could do no more. As such, it brought condemnation - declaring to all that this glory all belonged to Yhwh and humanity could partake of none of it. Thus it both revealed and declared condemnation to all who beheld the face of Moses; God is glorious and mankind is not and never the two shall meet.
Yet through Christ’s salvation this glory can enter in beyond our skin. It abides within and brings His righteousness. And even though it doesn’t “glow in the dark” to the mortal eyes, it brings a glory of infinite more value. For this glory transforms the dead soul, and thus the veil is lifted from both our minds and our hearts.
