There are none so blind as the religiously blind, whether a man that straps a bomb to his body and blows himself up trying to kill as many others in the process, or a woman that continues her vain worship of a statue, of a young man that spends hours a day chanting to a god that cannot hear.  Not only are these blind, but they are in bondage, the very word religion means “to bind”.  Paul talked about how the Jews were blinded, or had a veil over their understanding concerning Christ. Then he went on to describe the blessings that a Christian enjoys. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty!  Inside the born again Holy Ghost filled believer, where the Spirit dwells, there is freedom and liberty, not the bondage of religion, but a personal relationship with Jesus!  He describes us looking at the glory of God as in a mirror, with an open face, no longer blinded and veiled by religious rituals.  Then, the best part, he said the Spirit of the Lord is changing us into the same image!  As we are looking at Jesus and His glory, the Holy Ghost changes us to become more and more like Him!
