Jesus, Light of God's Glory

The Apostle Paul continues to defend the sincere and open ministry that he and his co-workers exercised among the Corinthians. Those who disbelieve the Gospel are blinded to it by Satan's captivity of their minds. Yet those who have received the gospel have experienced a sovereign, creative act akin to God's creation of light out of darkness at the dawn of the universe. Ironically, it was the cross that Christ suffered which supremely displays God's glory. Such glory from Christ's face shines in the hearts of believers, granting them the saving knowledge of God.
