WHEN, "A VEIL COVERS THEIR HEARTS"

"Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.  But whenever anyone turns to the Lord the veil is taken away."  (2 Corinthians 3:15, 16--NIV)

There are some who say, "I just can't understand much of the Bible; it's so difficult for me to read.  But, Wow!  Does he/she ever know the word.  They are always in the word."  None of this removes the, "veil."  

Our text tells us that the real "student of the Word," is the person who, "....turns to the Lord [Jesus Christ]."  And whenever one, "turns to the Lord [Jesus] the veil is taken away."  Now some may say, "How do you, "turn[] to the Lord?"  I don't know.  Paul doesn't seem to give such detail.  That the Holy Spirit shows us, however, I have no doubt.  Read, "the Words of  God...looking unto Jesus," and whatever understanding is possible in this present age will be ours.

Intellect, Hebrew, Greek, I Q are not the key to unveiling Scripture.  "Turn to the Lord," is.

Father, in Jesus' Name, I today afresh, turn to You.  Amen.   

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2

"....TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH"

"He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, like showers that water the earth....He shall have dominion also from seas to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth." (Psalm 72:6 & 8)

Psalm 72 is another glorious description and foreshadow of Jesus and His "work," Who He Is, What He Does.  I encourage you to read the whole of Psalm 72 and be blessed.'

Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You for such a revelation.  Amen.

Hebrews 12:2

GOD'S LOVE IS, "....ALIVE AND ACTIVE"

"For God thus loved the world: He gave His only Son...." (John 3:16a, Interlinear Greek)

God's love is Eternal Love, no time, space, or degree about the Love of the Living Triune God for you and me.  1 John 4:10 says, "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us..," and did something to demonstrate His Love: He, "....sent His Son, the Propitiation ('atoning sacrifice') for our sins."  

It occurred to me today that Jesus' Love for man is as His Word, "....alive and active...," and our love for each other and the world must be, "....alive and active."        

Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You for Your, "alive and active," love for me.  Amen.
