2 Corinthians 3:15-4:1, 3-6 • Matthew 5:20-26
Our righteousness will surpass that of the scribes and the Pharisees if we will turn to the Lord who removes the veil from over our hearts. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." The Lord's Spirit moves us to take the initiative in becoming reconciled with others. By that self-surrender, we are transformed from glory to glory and "enter into the Kingdom of heaven."
