The veil is lifted

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. – 2 Corinthians 3.14-16

For decades God’s people had His word, but it was seen as Paul put it, through a veil darkly. Moses saw God through a veiled face. The Jews saw God through veiled hearts. Apart from the Holy Spirit the word of God can be seen and understood with human limitations there is still a veil there because the word of God is diving truth.

But, when people turn to the Lord the veil is lifted. Now the word of God makes sense because we have a teacher. The Spirit gives life through His word and the veil is lifted. Now we see our real selves, not ‘though a glass darkly,’ but in the light of the word of God clearly. Now we see the glory of God and we see ourselves in that light.

All now have free access to God. It is available for everyone. Jesus opened the door to salvation to all when the veil in the Temple was torn in two.

Thank God for the veil being removed!
