📖 2 Corinthians 2: Forgiveness & Restoration - 2 Corinthians 3: Ministers of the New Covenant ✝ 🔥

In 2 Corinthians 2, Paul calls the church to forgive and restore a repentant sinner. The goal of church discipline is not rejection—but reconciliation. When someone turns back to God, we must welcome them with love.

Then Paul paints a beautiful picture—we are the aroma of Christ. To those being saved, we are the fragrance of life. To those perishing, the smell of death.

🔹 Restore the Repentant – Forgiveness over bitterness (vv. 5–11)
🔹 Satan’s Schemes – Don’t be outwitted by unforgiveness (v. 11)
🔹 Paul’s Heart – Ministry through tears and trust (vv. 12–13)
🔹 The Fragrance of Christ – Our lives spread His aroma (vv. 14–17)

We see Jesus as the one who restores the broken, and the one who sends us to carry His fragrance to the world.

In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul explains that we are ministers of a new covenant—not written on stone, but on hearts. The law condemns, but the Spirit gives life.

He compares the fading glory of Moses’ face with the surpassing glory of Christ. Because of Jesus, we can approach God with unveiled faces—being transformed into His image.

🔹 Living Letters – Our lives are evidence of Christ (vv. 1–3)
🔹 New Covenant Ministry – Spirit vs. letter (vv. 4–6)
🔹 Glory That Remains – Greater than Moses’ (vv. 7–11)
🔹 Boldness & Freedom – Unveiled access to God (vv. 12–16)
🔹 Transformation – From glory to glory (v. 18)

Jesus is the greater glory, the giver of life, and the one who removes the veil so we can know God fully.
