The law God revealed to Moses was glorious. So much so, that when Moses descended Mt. Sinai with the tablets of the law, his face was radiant. But Paul calls that glorious law a "ministry of death," because it could only reveal our sin. It had no power to remove it. That glorious law pales in comparison to the gospel, as the light of a candle fades in the light of the sun. The gospel not only shows us the way of life, it carries with it, when anointed by God's Spirit, the power to make us alive. The glory of the law is properly understood by those who have been driven by it to the much more glorious Messiah; and when one turns to the Lord Jesus Christ, the veil is taken away.
