When Jesus died on the cross, the veil that separated us from God was torn. Matthew 27:5 says that when He died, the veil separating the Holy of Holies from everybody except the High Priest was torn from top to bottom.

God Himself took the curtain separating us from Him and tore it. Ephesians 2:12-16 says that the wall between us and God was broken by the blood of Jesus. His sacrifice meant that we could now come in contact with God; His death opened up a new era for humanity.

Now, everyone has full access to God through Jesus Christ. It is because of Jesus that I can call God “Daddy” It is because of Him that everyone, anywhere, regardless of their skin colour or social status, can experience God’s presence.

Jesus died so you can have an intimate relationship with the Father. Is your relationship with God distant or intimate? Jesus died because He wants you to relate with the Father personally. To what extent have you opened your heart to God?

The torn veil signifies the destruction of everything that can keep us from enjoying God’s fullness.

Are you sick in your body? Are you in the bondage of addictions? Are you tormented by demons? Jesus tore the veil so that you can access health, deliverance, peace, and freedom. You don’t have to continue struggling through life when you can enjoy all that Jesus death has made available to you.

I pray that everything hindering you from enjoying good health and peace will be torn like that veil in Jesus name. The torn veil also signifies a new beginning. It means that the old has been taken away.

You can now enjoy the newness and fullness of life. While the veil remained in the temple, people lived under the old covenant, but as soon as it was torn, mankind was ushered into a new covenant Hebrews 12:24 says that Jesus is the mediator of the new covenant, and his blood speaks to us.

As we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, may his blood speak better things into your life, and may you experience new beginnings in every area of your life where you need newness, in Jesus’ name.

Lastly, the veil represents Jesus’ body (Hebrews 10:19-20). His flesh was torn so that yours can be whole. I pray that from now on, you will experience wholeness in every area of your life, in Jesus’ name.

Happy Easter

Action Point: Spend some time thanking Jesus for His sacrifice on the cross and for taking away the veil.
