Veiled

"Hebrews 10:19-20 ~
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh." 
                           ~ The Holy Bible

             The Holiest of all was veiled
                 in the Tabernacle of God, 
   Only the High priest could enter, 
once a year with sacrifice blood, 

When Jesus came down to this world, 
         He became the sacrifice Lamb, 
His blood shed on Calvary's cross
tore that veil from top to bottom, 

His flesh veil through which we enter
                     boldly into the Holiest, 
The blood of Christ consecrated
    a new and living way for us, 

Now God's presence is no more veiled, 
We can come to the throne of grace
        with boldness to obtain mercy, 
In our prayers, seeking God's face.

Great Christian theology of the veil of the Old Testament days, torn off by Jesus, and its implications today are very beautifully illustrated. Congratulations!

Great esteem we should have for the Lord our God. Jesus returns us to friendship with his own blood and flesh, whereby we enter His presence. The fear of the Lord frightening to His enemies but glorious to His friends. Be blessed, my friend! I sing praise with you this morning.
