September 14th -- John14:1-14

Please go and read the passage through!

Jesus is our way to God. When he was crucified, the Bible mentions a veil being torn. I think many people fail to realize the significance of that veil. In OT times, when the Temple of the Lord was still bring carried around, and even when it was set up as a proper building, before Jesus' death, there were different temple sections. There were three parts. The innermost part was separated by a veil. Nobody entered except the High Priest who was only allowed in once a year in order to intercede of behalf of all the people. (PS these facts may be minimally off, as I'm trying to remember them all from school a few years ago, but they're basically accurate) So, this veil tearing when Jesus died represented his taking over as our High Priest. He is the one who intercedes for us. He is our direct line up to God. He built a bridge over that gaping chasm that ran between us and God. Jesus literally is our way to God. So don't worry. He's preparing a place for all his followers. He's coming to get us when it's ready. So do not worry because you know you have that place.

God bless! Shalom!
