Hello friends, recently we have been talking about the FIVE MEANINGS OF EASTER and how
especially how they're important to the life of the Christian. All of the Christendom swings on one event the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Today we have that assurance, as Peter says that "hope that fades not away." Paul also says, "we have that sure foundation."
There are not many things that are an absolute certainty in this world. This is one of them! The first meaning we covered was that we have eternal life! Christ conquered death and the forces of evil at the Cross and made life after death a reality.
The second meaning I want to share, is the fact that we have VIP ACESS to God! What an awesome thought and privilege for the believer. In Matt 27:51 the veil of the Temple was rent from top to bottom, This was done and could only be done by God as a fulfillment of prophecy capping the end of the Age of Law and the start of the Age of Grace.
Wow no more do we have to go before a priest as a mediator between God and us. Heb 4:25 says that we " may boldy come before the throne of Grace and ask for help."
If you wanted to talk to Gov Nikki Haley the governor of SC, could you just drop in at any old time? If you wanted to talk to Jack Welch could you do that? How about President Obama? Obviously you know the answer! It would take weeks maybe months of planning to even get considered for an appt with anyone of this individuals, and that is if you have a shared interest that would benefit both parties!
How much of a chance do you have with Mayor Knox White? My point is that you have unfettered access to the God of this Universe! Life gets tough but you know that Jesus is always with you if you are a Christian, and he is nigh even if you arent!
The veil of the temple was appx 60 feet high and 30 feet wide and interwoven a rich tapestry. No one was permitted into that sanctuary except for the high priest.. and then only one time a year.
God wants us to approach Him as a little child, with a spirit of expecation and boldness. Let us boldy come before Him,, We no longer have the barriers to Him that once existed, We have FREE UNFETTERED ACCESS TO GOD. HALLELUAH!
Ephesians 2:14 says that he has broken down the wall.. and brought peace! You dont need a VIP pass or a VIP status to get an audience with Him.
Tomorrow we will talk about the third meaning of Easter, We can be overcomers, because of the Resurrection!
