“But to this day whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts; but whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” (2 Corinthians 3:15–16, NASB)
Moses spent forty days and forty nights with the Lord on Mount Sinai, without eating bread or drinking water. He came down carrying the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments had been written (Exodus 34:28). We read, “When Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses’ hand as he was coming down from the mountain), Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him” (Exodus 34:29, NASB). Moses’ face shone because he had spoken with the Lord.
The radiance of Moses’ face was so intense that the Israelites could not look at him. Therefore, Moses covered his face with a veil. Yes, we read that “when Moses had finished speaking with them, he would put a veil over his face” (Exodus 34:33, NASB). Whenever he went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he removed the veil; when he came out and spoke to the Israelites, they saw that his face was shining. Afterward, he would put the veil over his face again (Exodus 34:34–35).
Later, whenever the Old Testament Scriptures were read, a veil remained over the hearts of those who read them without understanding their true significance. The Apostle Paul recalls this incident and refers to it in today’s meditation verse. He uses the veil as a symbol of bondage. Why should anyone need a veil when approaching a loving Father? The bondage of sin prevents people from truly seeing the Lord and understanding His glory. But Paul declares that whenever they turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Yes, dear beloved, when we turn to the Lord, we are set free from the bondage of sin. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (2 Corinthians 3:17, NASB). When the Spirit of the Lord brings His freedom into our lives, there is no longer any need for a veil over our hearts.
\Just as Moses’ face shone in those days, God also causes us to shine today. This is the wonderful grace we receive through Jesus Christ. When we turn to Christ, the light of His glory shines in our hearts. The Bible says, “For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6, NASB).
In those days, the Israelites covered their faces because they could not bear to look at the radiance of Moses’ face. But the light of Christ shining in our hearts today is not a light that should be hidden behind a veil. Instead, it has the power to attract others to us and, through our witness, lead them to Christ. Just as insects are drawn to the light of a lamp, the light of Christ shining through our lives can draw others towards Him.
That is why Jesus Christ said, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14, NASB). Yes, dear beloved, only when the veil of sin that enslaves us is removed through the blood of Jesus Christ can we become lights to the world and lead others to Christ. When we turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Therefore, let us confess our sins to Him and pray that they may be washed away by His precious, holy blood. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom from sin.
