Entering The Most Holy Place

31 "And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it. 32 And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver. 33 And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy. 34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side. - Exodus 26:31-35

God’s instructions for the tabernacle include detail such as the color and material of the veil that separated the Most Holy Place from the Holy Place in the tabernacle. Yet God also left room for artistic expression and design. But only the High Priest could enter the Most Holy Place once a year. God created us, he designed us, in the same way. We are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and as Christians, we have been given freedom to live life as an expression of who we are in Christ. Apart from Christ, we are dead in sin and the freedom that we think we have is only a mirage. We can only serve one master; Christ or Satan. A veil is no longer needed to separate us from the Most Holy Place. We have a friend in Jesus, our High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of God The Father. Jesus walks with us each day, all day, through the Holy Spirit.
