“…the veil of the temple

was rent in twain…”

 

BARRIER BROKEN
 
After Jesus died, the veil of the temple that separated the Holy Place from the Holy of holies was completely torn apart from top to bottom into two equal pieces. The veil was no small curtain. It was 60 feet long, 30 feet wide, and four inches thick. It was so heavy it required 300 priests to hang it up.
 
The multicoloured veil itself was beautiful to behold. It was indeed a powerful visual aid revealing Christ’s redemptive mission on earth in both His life and death. The tearing of the veil was the Father’s way of announcing that His Son’s mission had been accomplished. The saints can now enter into God’s very presence through Christ. This is our privilege in Christ: “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water” (Heb 10:19-22).
 
The Roman captain together with his soldiers who were in charge of Jesus’ crucifixion and who witnessed those six hours of redemptive drama finally had to glorify God and conclude with certainty that Jesus was indeed the Son of God and a righteous man. These unregenerate soldiers had earlier mocked Jesus (Luke 23:36). Did they, like the thief (Luke 23:42), repent of their sins, and become Christians?
 
THOUGHT: “To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” (Heb 4:7)
PRAYER: (It is never too late to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to save you from your sins. Confess your sins and confess the Lord Jesus right now.)
