“We Can See Clearly Now”
Matthew 27:51

When Jesus bowed His head on the cross and gave His life back to the Father, darkness fell like midnight, an earthquake rent the earth and graves burst open. Behind the veil (curtain) in the temple, the Priests were no doubt preparing the Lamb for sacrifice, but the veil ripped from top to bottom, (by the way, it was about six inches thick) no man could possibly tear it themselves. But I can see the Priests look at one another and say, “boys I believe we have just been put out of business, now Gods Glory can be seen by all.” Not only was Gods power manifested, but many other wonderful things could be realized and learned. The old law was not done away with, but fulfilled; no more animal sacrifices were needed, the one perfect Lamb had just been given, once for all. The mystery of the church was revealed and many other things were now open to view. The Mercy Seat could be seen, the glory of God shone from it; Now all could see clearly, the Revelation of God; Life and immortality are now brought to light, and those things which had been hidden from the foundation of the world are made known in Christ. The sacrifice for atonement was to be no more, no more the sprinkling of blood annually. No more bulls and lambs needed because Jesus took His own blood within the veil and sprinkled it upon the Mercy Seat once for all. We have access to God now, we can approach the throne of Grace with boldness, because of the Atoning blood that Christ presented for us.

“The Key”

The key to Heaven is Jesus, 

let’s enter with Him there;

To Heavenly places while here with Him, 

And there all Glory share.

Weekly Memory Verses: 1 John 1:5-10 

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
