The veil of the temple

Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
Matthew 27:51

The veil of the temple
After the Lord Jesus Christ had yielded up His life on the cross of Calvary, God rent the veil that separated the holy place from the holiest of all in the temple in two pieces from top to bottom. By this action He signified three important facts.

By tearing down the veil God indicated that He would put an end to the Jewish system under the law. As a consequence of the crucifixion of His Son He would do away with the Jewish divine service that had been initiated on the ground of the covenant of Sinai. In 70 A.D. the Romans destroyed the temple with the result that sacrifices in Jerusalem ceased.

On the ground of the sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus God can show His love to mankind, without restriction or surrendering anything of His holiness. The rent veil testifies that a stream of grace flows out from God's heart to lost man. The good news that God loves the race of men and wishes to grant them eternal life can now be proclaimed everywhere. Whoever accepts His offer of grace is saved.

Because Jesus Christ gave His life at the cross, the redeemed can enter God's presence freely. The rent veil confirms access to God is available for all who have been made perfect by the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. What a privilege the believers of the age of grace now have: they can enter God's holy presence fearlessly in order to bring Him their heartfelt worship.

Today's reading: Judges 4:1-16 Â· 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
