“And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.”
Mark 15:37-38
The significance of the veil being rent should never depart from either the heart or mind of each and every believer, every single day. Just what was this veil? The veil was the covering over the entrance of the Holy of Holies in the Temple. Only the high priest could enter into the Holy of Holies and this took place only on the Day of Atonement. Not just any one could come to God, but that all changed when the Lord Jesus Christ came and made a path through His death on the cross. Bible teacher, Warren Wiersbe writes, “The rending of the veil symbolized the wonderful truth that the way was now open to God. There was no need of temples, priests, altars, or sacrifices. Jesus had finished the work of salvation on the cross.”
Hebrews 4:14-16 is a powder keg of biblical truth that I hope shines a light on any questions one might have about the need of a mere human priest. I pray that it will also be a reminder and encouragement of the blessedness of the believer’s position in Christ Jesus. The Bible says, “Seeing that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Amen!!
Dear believer, how often have you traveled the path that the Lord Jesus Christ blazed thru His finished work on Calvary’s violent Hill? From such violence came victory; a victory like no other. The price was paid for the debt of sin owed by man. The way was made for regeneration and sweet reconciliation between mankind and the Heavenly Father. With reconciliation came the freedom of coming to God without there being any barrier. Have you come in boldness (In confidence)? It is time to claim that which is rightfully yours in Christ Jesus! Come boldly. The Lord Jesus Christ has made the way.
