What is the ministration of the Spirit indicative of?
The ministration of the Spirit is indicative of grace. Scripture contrasts it with the ministration of death written and engraved in stones; if the Law's glory was passing away, the Spirit's ministration of grace takes its place and is rather more glorious.
Les explains that the ministration of the Spirit is indicative of grace. Paul contrasts it with the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, which was glorious so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold Moses' face. Les points out that what was veiled was the passing away of the Law. If that old glory faded, Paul asks, how shall not the ministration of the Spirit, which is indicative of grace, be rather glorious? Grace takes its place and is even more glorious.
