The way to God is through the veil

The Disjunction of the Veil- The way to God is through the veil

 

           The disjunction of the veil as told in Matt. 27:51-52 says, "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; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.".

 

          The veil was only a curtain and not a wall. God tells us "the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest" (Heb. 9:8). Not until Christ's death was the way manifest and opened into God's presence.

First notice that it was divinely rent in two: the picture of Christ's death. They were simultaneous. The veil was rent in two "from the top to the bottom" (Mt. 27:51), not by man but by God. Tradition says this veil was four inches thick, and two teams of oxen hitched to each side could not tear it apart. Obviously no man could. Jesus said, "No man taketh it (my life) from me, but I lay it down myself" (Jn. 10:18). The men of Jesus' day were simply God's instruments to carry out His divine plan of redemption. Isaiah said, "It pleased the Lord to bruise him" (53:10). On Calvary, God was  judging your sin and my sin in the person of His Son "who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree" (1 Peter 2:24). What a Savior.

 

           The veil was dramatically rent. "The earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened" (Mt. 27:51-52). With many who came out of their graves appearing in the city, there could be no question about it being known that something unusual had happened. Those who witnessed it had no excuse for their unbelief. God did all that was needed to show them that Jesus Christ had fulfilled prophecy and was the Messiah.

 

          The veil was deliberately rent. The way to God is now opened completely for all. God says we can "come boldly unto the throne of grace" (Heb 4:16), and we have "boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus" (10:19). Without the rent veil we could not have such access.
