Come Past The Veil
You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, so that you may bring in the ark of the testimony within the veil; and the veil shall serve for you as a partition between the Holy place and the Most Holy.
- Exodus 26:33
The Ark of the Covenant was also called the ark of the presence, for the presence of God was with it. God instructed Moses to keep the Ark of the Covenant in a room separated from the people.
Those who do not partake of the new covenant do not understand the character of God. They may even believe he is cruel and unyielding, indifferent and unconcerned. But a veil of sin separates them from God.
Under the new covenant, the veil has been torn, and God's presence is fully available to us (Matthew 27:51). The veil of sin has been removed by Christ so that we are liberated from sin and changed from glory to glory. "Since this new covenant gives us such confidence, we can be very bold . . . But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, then the veil is taken away" (2 Corinthians 3:12,16 NLT).
No one who receives the blood of Jesus is shut out. As a born-again child of God, he will never turn you away. Come boldly before him today, through the precious blood of Jesus, and make your needs known to him!
Jesus, thank you for removing the veil from my eyes and empowering me to live in Your Grace and Presence. Through Your Blood, I boldly approach the Father and desire to be changed in His presence. Amen.
