“And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to bottom” (Mark 15:37-38 KJV). In the Old Testament only the high priest could enter the holy of holies in the temple and that only once a year (Lev 16:2). The priest went through the veil that separated the holy place from the holy of holies. When he did this, he entered into the very presence of God (Lev 16:2).

When Christ died on that cross the veil was broken. Jesus paid the price for our sins and opened the door of access for us into the very presence of God (Heb 4:16; Eph 2:18).

In the Old Testament Moses acted as an intermediary between the people and God. The word says they were baptized into Moses. (Ex 17:3-6) They trembled at the awesome presence of God (Ex 21:18-21).

We have been baptized into Christ (1Cor 2:3-6) and God the Father dwells in us in Christ Jesus. (John 17:23) As Gods children we can callout Abba, Father (Rom 8; 15). Abba is an intimate word for our Father, like our children calling us daddy. What a wonderful picture of free, intimate access to a loving, forgiving, awesome daddy, with whom nothing is impossible.

Get on your own with God today and let his love, forgiveness and acceptance just surround you like a daddy’s arms.
