Associate Pastor Connor Harris takes us through "The Dangers of Idolatry."
When Moses received the Law of God, the glory of God shined on Moses’s face and caused it to glow. Because of that, Moses would put a veil over his face so the shining glory would not be seen, presumably to not frighten the people. The problem is that the glory of the Law was fading, and by veiling his face, Moses disallowed the people from seeing that the glory of the Law was a fading glory. It was never meant to last forever but designed to point to the Savior.
Paul discusses this in his second letter to the Corinthians where he says that the new glory of the gospel is eternal. It does not fade. Even to this day, people who refuse to acknowledge the gospel have that same kind of veil (or blindness) over their hearts. Only through faith in Jesus Chris is that veil removed and the gospel made real in the heart.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:6.
