THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 84: The Tearing of the Veil |
|
|
A supernatural darkness presided over Judea as the
Light of the World hung on the cross. The death of Jesus’s physical
body set in motion a chain of events. Daylight returned when the sin
debt was satisfied. The thick linen curtain in the temple was torn
from top to bottom. A violent earthquake split rocks and many dead
were resurrected. The body of Jesus was symbolic of the veil, and
when the sin debt was paid, God the Father ordered the curtain in
the temple rent, signifying that the separation between God and
mankind had been removed. Jesus entered a “greater and more perfect
tabernacle” not made by human hands. He used His own blood, and
obtained salvation for mankind. We can therefore confidently
approach God the Father because of what Jesus has done. We have
access to the holy of holies by a “new and living way” and the Son
of God now serves as the eternal high priest over the church. |
