“The curtain of the temple was torn in two,
from the top to bottom.”
Matthew 27:51
When God looks
down upon His creation He is a lot less divisive than we human beings are. He doesn’t see the artificial boundaries we
have constructed; He doesn’t see the many religions and denominations we have
developed. He sees two divisions of
people; those who received and believe in the name of the Word that became
flesh and dwelt among them, and those who reject Him.
God sent His Son
into the world to save it, to take away the sin of the world.
That sin is
separation from God, that comes from disbelieve and disobedience to the rule
and authority of God over His creation.
This resulted in a boundary being made between God and the people He
created in His own image, to be the bearers of that image. God created with a plan in mind but humans
thought they could do better. The
boundary was made.
Throughout history
God has been working to remove the boundary and restore the relationship. God sent His Son into the world to do just
that.
Those who received
and believed in his name were given the right to be born again as child of God,
born of God Himself, not of blood, the will of the flesh, nor the will of
man. Born again and given life, the true
light that enlightens one, and the fullness of grace. At Jesus’ death n the cross the curtain of
the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom, and free access to the holy of
holies was given to everyone who chose to receive it.
