It is sometimes discouraging to see others in our lives who do not follow the gospel of Christ, despite our efforts to live godly lives before them. But this passage says that the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of Christ. We need to pray that the Holy Spirit will remove the veil that is before their eyes. We should continue to speak the truth plainly so the message of God can be clearly understood.

As we look to the light, others may seek the source that shines in the darkness. They, too, may find his light shining in their hearts, bringing the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
