Pierce the Veil
“Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4 WEB)
The good news (Gospel) of Jesus Christ is actually gloriously bright. It is so dazzling that Satan has used all sorts of methods to “veil” the Gospel from unbelievers.
Slandering methods:
“Going to church is so boring!”
“The Bible is so ancient and outdated. We live in the 21st century now.”
“God is not real—that concept is just a crutch for weak losers.”
“Look at that pastor who embezzled money from his church. All these churches are just out to con people of their money. Don’t be a fool!”
If that doesn’t work, he may try to heap condemnation and feelings of unworthiness in unbelievers:
“Church is for holy people. You are a rotten sinner. If you step into church, God will strike you down immediately.”
“You, go to church? Don’t make me laugh—you’re probably the worst kind of sinner there is.”
In many shows and movies, Christians are portrayed as weird people who others stay far away from.
Sometimes, preachers help the devil’s agenda by preaching that God is angry with everyone, and that we should be afraid of His punishment. There is almost no mention of God’s love, and it is frequently preaching against sin.
Then, there is the example that Christians set. Some believers get into embarrassing arguments on social media, live just like the unbelievers so that there is no discernible difference, and are so devoid of love and compassion—instead, they are constantly judging and criticizing.
In all these, the glorious light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ becomes veiled. The world can’t see the full measure of light because of all the bad things they have heard and seen about Christianity.
It is time to pierce these demonic veils. To unleash the full light of the Gospel, we must preach Jesus Christ based on what we read about Him doing in the four Gospels and beyond.
When you show how Jesus is full of grace and truth, how He demonstrates the Father’s heart of love and mercy towards the world through His miracles, words and actions, the veil of unbelief will be pierced through.
People will see a good, generous God who is full of love, who welcomes sinners to freely receive the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
We have a beautiful Gospel to share. It is a precious treasure we have in these earthen vessels (our flesh). Let the light shine, and darkness will scatter!
In “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ, to reveal God’s heart of love and grace towards you. Miracle-working faith will be imparted to you as the chapters declare rhema words for your long-awaited breakthrough: https://www.ko-fi.com/s/0db846b58c
