Christ's Glorious Face

Paul did not lose heart, because God triumphs over Satan and renews people to see Christ's glorious face.

1. The glory of gospel ministry prompts perseverance and openness. (v.1-2)
2. The glory of the gospel is veiled to minds blinded by Satan. (v.3-4)
3. The glory of God is known in the gospel of Jesus as Lord. (v.5-6)
