2 Corinthians 4:2-6
4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
5 For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond- servants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God, who said, “ Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Principle of Agency
Agent = one that acts or has the power or authority to act; one empowered to act for or represent another. -Allen Ripke
“The Law of Agency deals with the status of a person (known as the agent) acting by direction of another (the principal), and thereby legally binding the principal in his connection with a third person. The person who binds a principal in this manner is his agent, known in Jewish law as (one that is sent): the relation of the former to the latter is known as agency. The general principle is enunciated thus: A man’s agent is like himself.”
-The Jewish Encyclopedia, pg.232, 1901-1906
