"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 16 September 2014, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Today's Bible Verse: 2nd Corinthians 4:3-6 "But even if our gospel is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine of them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bond servants for Jesus' sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
Unbelievers have a barrier to over come for "the god of this age" has blinded their minds." The "god of this age" is Satan. On Satan's control of the world system see Matthew 4:8-9, John 12:31, 14:30, 1st Corinthians 10:20, Ephesians 2:2, 6:12 and 2nd Timothy 2:26. The "lost" of verse 3 are the unbelievers of verse 4. They are so controlled by Satan, that he effectively shields them from the "Light of the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ." Paul here thus categorizes those who find his message difficult to accept. In effect, Paul is saying that the person who is criticizing his ministry at Corinth is not even saved for they are lost, unbelieving and has been blinded by Satan.
Jesus Christ is God's Son, and He perfectly reveals God the Father to us. Although we as human being have been CREATED in the image of God, thought we have fallen from a perfect relationship with God, Jesus Christ is restoring believers to what they were originally created to be in 1st Corinthians 3:18 and genesis 1:26.
As God commanded the light to shine in the darkness at CREATION, Genesis 1:3, so He also "turns on" the LIGHT in the hearts of people, so that they can see who Jesus Christ is. People who DO NOT see the LIGHT and DO NOT BELIEVE have had their eyes blinded and have had their hearts hardened by Satan in verse 4. But we as Believers DO see the LIGHT and have reconnected to our Abba Father through Jesus Christ His Son. PRAISE and GLORY to our Almighty, Loving, and Gracious God.

Jesus Reigns and He Is Has Been and ALWAYS will be in Complete and Total Control!!! May God's Peace, Love, Strength, and Grace be with you all. May we as Christians reach to heaven with one hand and with he other reach out to the lost and dying of this dark and sinful world. May we like John at the close of the Book of Revelation say, "Come, Lord Jesus, Come."
