‘The Way To Take The Veil Away.’
2 Corinthians 3:13-16.
In this passage Apostle Paul is referring to Moses and the Children of Israel historically. I am sure that he did not just want to give the Corinthians a history lesson. This message is equally relevant today for people with non-Christian religious or political belief.
a) 2 Corinthians 3:13. We are not like Moses who had to keep his face covered because it shone so brightly after being in the Lord’s Presence. Moses was unique.
b) 2 Corinthians 3:14. The Israelites’ minds were dull to the Word of God it was as if a veil was over them. Only in Christ can the veil be taken away.
c) 2 Corinthians 3:15. The Israelites remained dull (and still mostly remain dull) for hundreds of years.
d) 2 Corinthians 3:16. Whenever anyone turns to the Lord the veil is taken away.

‘God’s Demonstration Of His Own Love For Us.’
Romans 5:8-9.
a) Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
b) We are now Justified by the Blood of Jesus.
c) Through Christ we shall be saved from God’s wrath.
(Through this Second one I am amazed at God’s Demonstration Of His Own Love For Us)

The Israelites’ minds were dull to the Word of God. This is not an exclusive problem. There are people from all parts of this Earth whose minds are dull to this day and who firmly reject the Gospel of Christ, just as many of the Israelites do to this day. This is not a racial problem – it is one of humankind’s basic problems. Wherever we may be in this World we are lights shining in the darkness. People need to hear the Word of God and receive Christ as Lord and Saviour.
