VEIL OF FLESH
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; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:19-22
During communion, I saw three things being torn and separated to give us entrance into His presence. On the night of the Passover Feast, Jesus took the bread and said, “This is my body..” and He broke the bread. Hebrew speaks of the veil of His flesh which was torn when He was beaten before the crucifixion. The veil of the temple was torn from the top to the bottom when Jesus died. I believe that God desires for us to come into His presence and the way has been opened for us. The blue stripes of the prayer tallit represent the washing with pure water. |
