Pastor Jesse Loew delivers a thought-provoking and timely exploration of our challenges in a world dominated by image management and filters. The message opens with a candid look at how social media and societal pressures have shaped our behavior, causing us to present an idealized version of ourselves to the world.
Drawing parallels with the biblical story of Moses, the sermon weaves together the narrative of our modern struggles with the timeless lessons found in scripture. Much like Moses, who veiled his face to hide the fading glory of God, we are reminded of our tendency to mask our true selves and vulnerabilities.
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF AND AVOID UNFILTERED COMMUNICATION
THE PROBLEM OF VEILED LIVING
We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:13-18
WHAT VEIL ARE YOU WEARING?
Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 2 Corinthians 3:15
A VEIL THAT FIRST COVERS THE FACE EVENTUALLY COVERS THE HEART
ONLY CHRIST CAN REMOVE THE VEIL
But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:16-18
