Have You Had Your Veil Lifted?

I have quoted this scripture a lot to answer the question, "why is this world so crazy?"  2 Cor. 4:4 "god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers" so they can't see the "light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God"

Have You Had Your Veil Lifted?
2 Corinthians 3:13–4:4
“Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:16 (NKJV)

1. Moses’ Veil – Concealed Glory
Paul reminds us that Moses wore a veil so the people of Israel would not see the fading glory on his face (2 Cor. 3:13).
The veil limited what they could see, not because the glory wasn’t real, but because they were not ready to behold it fully.
This represents the Old Covenant—real, but incomplete, pointing forward to something greater.
 Truth: God’s glory was present, but restricted by a veil.

2. The Veil Over the Mind
Paul then shifts from Moses to us:
“Their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted…”
— 2 Corinthians 3:14
This veil is not on the face—it’s on the understanding.
Tradition, Religious effort, Self-righteousness, Dependence on the flesh
All of these can keep people around Scripture, yet far from revelation.
 Truth: You can read the Bible and still miss Christ if the veil remains.

3. The Enemy’s Veil – Blinding the Lost
Paul takes it even further:
“But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded…”
— 2 Corinthians 4:3–4
Satan’s goal is not always rebellion—often it is blindness.
He doesn’t mind religion, as long as revelation is blocked.
The veil keeps people from seeing “the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.”
 Truth: The enemy blinds minds to keep people from seeing Jesus clearly.

4. The Veil Is Lifted in Christ
Here is the good news:
“Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:16
Not when you try harder, Not when you learn more, But when you turn to the Lord
Jesus does not improve your vision—He removes the veil.
 Truth: Revelation flows from relationship, not religion.

5. So here’s the question for all of us:
Have you had your veil lifted?
Do you see Christ clearly, or only concepts about Him?
Has the gospel become light, or just information?
Are you walking in freedom, or still peering through something that clouds your view?
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:17

Closing Thought
God is not hiding His glory.
The enemy is hiding the view.
And Jesus is still lifting veils.
Turn to Him—and see clearly.
