16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord，the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit；and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory，just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Our annual theme of this year is 2 Corinthians 3:17 - "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty". I am not sure after all the practices this year, have you experience more freedom compared to before? It is amazing that we can be transformed into the same image of the Lord from glory to glory, through the ministry of the Spirit of God! However, such transformation process won't happen automatically simply because the Holy Spirit indwells us. All Christians are indwelt and sealed with the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation. But to experience the continuous transformation work of the Spirit, we need to make sure there are nothing between us and the Lord so that we can see Him with unveiled face. May we give glory to God by our transformed life!
林後3:16-18
16 但他們的心幾時歸向主，帕子就幾時除去了。 17 主就是那靈；主的靈在哪裏，那裏就得以自由。 18 我們眾人既然敞着臉得以看見主的榮光，好像從鏡子裏返照，就變成主的形狀，榮上加榮，如同從主的靈變成的。
我們教會今年的主題是“主的靈在哪裏，那裏就得以自由”。 當一年即將過去的時候，您是否更多地經歷了聖靈中的自由？一件非常奇妙的事情就是我們新約的聖徒可以藉著內住的聖靈被榮上加榮地改變成為主的形狀!但是這一個榮上加榮的過程不會因著聖靈的內住而自動發生。每一個蒙恩得救的基督徒都得著了聖靈的內住，但要經歷每一天聖靈在我們身上那改變的大能，我們需要常常能夠敞着臉得以看見主的榮光。是否有任何的事情攔阻在你我和 神之間，讓我們沒有辦法真實地經歷聖靈改變的大能？求主來幫助我們，讓我們的一個被榮上加榮改變的人生成為 神榮耀的見證！
