THE OBSCURING VEIL

By L. A. R.

Unbelief now, as in the days of Moses, will put a veil over the face, and hide the glory of the Lord, and we shall not be changed from glory to glory by His blessed Spirit. However, if the gospel be thus hid (2 Cor. 4:3), "it is hid to them that are lost," and lost indeed they are if thus from them it is hid.
But, thank God, if we have faith, if we believe God's promises, He "who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." And "we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." 2 Cor. 4:6, 7.
Truly this excellency of power is from God, but it is for us, and it will change us, and make us like Him, "according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself." Phil. 3:21.
L. A. R.
