The veil

This Wednesday, we are praying for Jewish people everywhere who have not yet found Christ. You can probably think of a few people you know who fit this description. 2 Corinthians 3:14 reads "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." We all know that Christ is the answer to the old testament prophecies. Yet these unsaved Jewish people still read the old testament and cannot see how Christ takes the veil away. They debate over Messiah… They look for signs such as the red calf… All the while working to keep the law in an attempt to earn their way to heaven. They know the rules but they don't really know the Rule Maker.

So let's pray that these people come to accept Christ as their savior. That the veil is lifted as they read passages like Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53. They already believe in God. Their hurdle is Christ. Let them come to know Him and to have a relationship with Him.

Have a great week and a great fast.
Your brother,
Bob
