Three, even four big questions...




2 Corinthians 4:4 (NLT)
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

- This one paragraph contains four of the most fascinating statements in the bible:

1. Satan is the god of this world... How can this be so? Don't Christians believe that Satan was defeated by the resurrection of Christ!

2. Satan has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. ... Wow! Then how is it that some are now no longer blind, but not everyone?

3. ... the glorious light of the Good News..... What exactly is this?

4. ... the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God..... And that's a deep deep topic of study all by itself, as well.

John has your back on 3 and 4 ... For sure! James, who was Jesus' brother takes a pretty credible swipe at 1 and 2. Great questions! I'll be thinking about these a little farther then my shoot from the hip comment here!
