Exodus 26:33 "When the inner curtain is in place, put the Ark of the Covenant behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place."
Matthew 27:51 At the moment of Jesus's death, "the curtain in the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom."
Hebrews 4:16 "So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it."
At Jesus's death, the curtain separating mortals from a Holy God was torn from top to bottom. In that moment, I was given complete, unobstructed access to God. Never again would a priest be needed to petition God on the behalf of his followers, and that includes me.
So with that, I go to Him boldly because he is my gracious God. There I receive His mercy and find His grace which I so badly need.
These thoughts are on my mind this morning. As I reflect on them, I smile. What an amazing privilege to petition the Maker of the universe boldly.
