Today we are reading 2 Corinthians 3. In this chapter Paul writes about a veil that prevents unbelievers from hearing the truth of the Gospel. “Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:12-18 ESV When a person comes to faith in Jesus, the veil is lifted. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t believe in Jesus. What about you? What was it like when the veil was lifted from your heart? Can you imagine the joy that people feel when they first come to faith in Jesus? May God use you to help someone experience that joy! Pastor Tim
