Seeing Christ's Glory with the Veil Removed

Just as Moses used a veil to cover the glory shining on his face (Exodus 34:33), so he used types and shadows to cover the glory of the Lord. Christians can now see Christ's glory with the veil of types and shadows taken away. In reading Moses' law, the veil of types and shadows still covered Christ for the Jews. Their hardened hearts refused to see Christ. However, they could see him in the New Testament (2 Corinthians 3:13-14).

Those rejecting Christ still fail to see him in the Old Testament. They overlook the purpose of that covenant (Galatians 3:24). However, those who sincerely strove to see God's will found the veil removed. Earlier (verses 6-7) Moses was used to stand for the letter. In the same way Christ stands for the Spirit. In Him is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:15-17).

One of the greatest freedoms enjoyed by those in the New Covenant is seeing Christ clearly. Christians see His glory reflected in the New Covenant and their faces are made to shine with His glory as Moses' face shone (2 Corinthians 3:18).
