Remove the Veil

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3v12-18 (The Living Bible) says “Since we know that this new glory will never go away, we can preach with great boldness, and not as Moses did, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelis could not see the glory fade away. Not only Moses’ face was veiled, but his people’s minds and understanding were veiled and blinded too. Even now when the Scripture is read it seems as though Jewish hearts and minds are covered by a thick veil, because they cannot see and understand the real meaning of the Scriptures. For this veil of misunderstanding can be removed only by believing in Christ. Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings their hearts are blind and they think that obeying the Ten Commandments is the way to be saved. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord from his sins, then the veil is taken away.  The Lord is the Spirit who gives them life, and where He is there is freedom from trying to be saved by keeping the laws of God. But we Christians have no veil over our faces; we can be mirrors that brightly reflect the glory of the Lord. And as the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like Him.”

We thank God that when we turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, the veil is taken away from our hearts (v16), and understanding comes in. Beloved, have you turned to the Lord Jesus Christ? Do you believe in Him and what He represents? Jesus represents the love of God for the world. He was sent to die for the sins of the world, that by believing in Jesus and accepting this sacrifice we might become children of God.

If you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour and would like to, you can say a prayer like this: Heavenly Father, I come to You today, acknowledging that I am a sinner. I believe that You sent Jesus to die for me and I accept His sacrifice. Lord Jesus, I want You to be my Lord and personal Saviour. Thank You because I am now accepted in the beloved. Keep me till the end in You o God, in Jesus name, I pray.

If you have said this prayer, we welcome you into the family of God. Do find a Bible-believing church to attend and may God bless you richly and always.
