2 Corinthians 3:15
“But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.”
What does 2 Corinthians 3:15 mean?
Paul is describing how many Jewish people of his time couldn't see that Jesus fulfilled the old covenant laws and promises, even though they heard Scripture read every week in synagogue. He's saying it's as if a veil (the same one Moses wore after encountering God) still covers their hearts, preventing them from recognizing what Jesus accomplished. This wasn't meant as an insult but as an observation about spiritual blindness that Paul believed came from resisting God's fuller revelation. If you've ever felt stuck in old patterns or unable to see what someone's trying to show you, even when it's right in front of you, you understand this experience on a human level.
