Remove The Veil!
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the
glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same
image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."
2 Corinthians 3: 18
One of the greatest mysteries in nature occurs when
a caterpillar spins a cocoon around itself and, after a
time, emerges as a beautiful butterfly.
Changing from a caterpillar to a butterfly is a mystery, but not as
great as the transformation of a human sinner into the image of
Jesus Christ—the goal of our salvation (Romans 8: 29).
The apostle Paul reveals a precondition for that transformation: beholding
Christ in faith (2 Corinthians 3:13-18). When Moses came down from the
mountain, having met God, he had to cover his face with a veil to hide the
radiance of God’s glory. That veil, Paul says, is like a veil that covers the
heart of the unbeliever who fails to see the glory of God in Christ.
When our hearts are unveiled by faith, and seeing
Christ clearly as in a mirror, we are transformed
into His image, “from glory to glory.”
Removing the veil means seeing God’s glory
in Christ and embracing it by faith and being
transformed into His image.
"Nature forms us; sin deforms us;
school informs us; Christ transforms us.
