Christ coming
down from above
the Spirit indwelling
filling us with love
The law empty
without the breath of life
revealing God’s grace
his infinite love

2 Corinthians 3:6
“He has made us competent as ministers
of a new covenant
–not of the letter but of the Spirit;
for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
