The Price Of Access
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.
- Matthew 27:51
To symbolize the equality of privilege and responsibility in the covenant,
sacrificial animals were split from top to bottom. Each half stood for one
partner in the covenant. No one was represented by the head, and no one was
represented by the tail.
Our covenant with God is a contract between equals only because Jesus Christ
took our place and accomplished what we could not do for ourselves. In mercy,
God did not give us what we had earned. Jesus paid the price for our sins on
the cross. In grace, God gave us what we could never earn. The gift of
God's son gave us eternal life.
At the moment Jesus died, the curtain in the Holy of Holies was torn from top to
bottom. This symbolized that Jesus had now paid the price for man to have
access to the throne room of God (Hebrews 10:19-20).
Jesus died to give you access to God. Come boldly before your father today and
receive His Grace (Hebrews 4:16).
