To See God's Unveiled Glory

Summary

The sermon explores the theme of veils in the Bible that hide God's glory, focusing on the Old Testament accounts of Moses' shining face covered by a veil after encountering God on Mount Sinai, and the veil in the tabernacle that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. It highlights how these veils symbolize the hidden glory of God and the need for mediation, pointing to Jesus Christ as the ultimate intercessor who removes these barriers. The tearing of the temple veil at Christ's death signifies the removal of the separation between God and humanity, granting direct access to God's presence. The sermon emphasizes the contrast between the law's glory and its ministration of death, and the new life brought through Christ.
