A VEILED GOSPEL TO THOSE THAT ARE PERISHING {2Cor.4:1-6}..
As I Began Reading And Studying This Scripture, Verses 3 And 4 Struck Me. It Said; “and even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing”.
The Message Translation Put It This Way; “if our message is obscure to anyone, it’s not because we’re holding back in anyway, no. it’s because these other people are looking or going the wrong way and refuse to give it serious attention.”
At First, When I Read The NIV Version, I Began To Wonder Why The Gospel Is Veiled To Those That Are Perishing But The Message Version Made It Very Clear; If You Refuse To Give The Word Of God Serious Attention, It Just Cannot Affect Your Life. Then Verse 4 Said; “the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
Again, I Began To Wonder How Their Minds Were Blinded. Is It By Their Choice Or Is It Unconsciously? The Message Translation Explained It Again In Simpler Terms Saying; “all they have eyes for is the fashionable god of darkness. They think he can give them what they want, and that they won’t have to bother believing a Truth they cannot see. They’re stone blind to the dayspring brightness of the Message that shines with Christ, who gives us the best picture of God we’ll ever get.”
I’m Seeing That Sometimes, These Little But No Little-At-All Thoughts Passes Through And Even Dwells On A Person’s Mind – Not Believing A God They Cannot See – And As A Result, They’re Blinded To The Bright Light Of God. Such Thoughts Are Anti-God And Needs To Be Rebuked Immediately They Enter. They Must Not Be Entertained!
I Thank You Father For Showing Me The Reason So Many Fail To Cleave To You And I Pray For All Those Still Looking The Wrong Way That Your Merciful Hand Will Remove The Veil From Their Eyes And Turn Their Heads To Look The Right Way As You Mercifully Helped Me. This I Ask In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
