THE TURN AROUND.

 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed 2 Corinthians 3:16.
Paul points out something that we should truly pay attention to. Lets open our eyes and pray that the Lord open our hearts, and through His Word look to freedom. Paul an Apostle of Christ Jesus speaks to the Corinthians about the New Covenant, but look what he says towards the end of this chapter. The Israelites had the law which was given by Moses in the Old Testament, the old covenant, which Paul calls the ministry of codemnation(2 Corinthians 3:9) because the law reveals our sin and holds us accountable to God(Romans 3:19,20),  but there is a ministry of righteousness, which is the Gospel, the Saving Grace of God in Christ Jesus, through His death, burial, and resurrection on the behalf of sinners who can't keep God's law. Paul says of the Israelites, that their minds were hardened, that when reading Moses a veil lies over their hearts, and it remains unlifted, only through Christ can it be taken away, Wow. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is so powerful, because it frees us from ourselves to carry us by Grace to Jesus Christ the righteous One. This morning is there a veil over your heart, are you guilty of looking to the ministry of codemnation instead of looking to the only One who can save you and keep you. Will you look to Jesus and not to works in seeing how you can keep God's law outside of Christ, one is condemned outside of Christ, but in Christ one is made righteous(Romans 5:16). "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3:17. Repent and Believe the Gospel of Jesus.
