Torn In Two

At the time of Jesus' death the  60 foot tall curtain, that separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the Tabernacle, was torn in two from top to bottom.  Matt. 27:51

This was an act that no man could accomplish as it was a very thick (4 inches) tapestry and it was said that horses tied to each side would not have been able to tear it apart. 
At the point of Jesus death the  torn curtain symbolized that once and for all a sufficient atonement for sins had been made.  It was finished. The way into the Holy of Holies was open for all people, both Jew and Gentile.

In my minds eye I see another picture.  I now see a "welcome" mat down in front of God.  It is Jesus.  He took the penalty and by "laying down" has welcomed us to come and join with our Maker!..What a wonderful thought!

All it takes is our coming to grips with sin...our own personal sin.  It is so much easier for me to see and judge your sin ...but mine?  

Friend it's really not that hard....The benefits are eternal and God is just and gentle.  He loves ALL His Son.s friends!  Just go and "come"... He's waiting for you!

Blessings
