"The Torn Veil: Access to God’s Presence"

 Key Scripture: Psalm 22:1–31, Matthew 27:51

 Psalm 22, penned by David, prophetically captures Jesus’ anguish on the cross (“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) and the cosmic significance of His death, symbolized by the temple veil tearing, granting all access to God

A Cry of Anguish, A Prophecy FulfilledPsalm 22:1 mirrors Jesus’ cry on the cross (Matthew 27:46), expressing the weight of bearing humanity’s sin. Verses 16–18 eerily predict the piercing of hands and feet and the casting of lots for His clothes (John 19:23–24).This wasn’t random suffering; it was God’s plan foretold, showing Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice.

The Veil Torn: A New Covenant When Jesus died, “the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom” (Matthew 27:51). This fulfilled the prophetic shift in Psalm 22:27–31, where “all the families of the nations” worship God.The veil’s tearing (Hebrews 10:19–22) means we no longer need priests or rituals to approach God—Jesus’ blood opened the way.Our Response TodayGood Friday invites us to enter God’s presence boldly, confessing sins and receiving grace.Prophetically, it points to a future where all nations will bow (Psalm 22:27). We’re called to live as ambassadors of this new covenant, inviting others to the cross.Takeaway for Readers:

The torn veil means you can approach God directly today. Spend time in prayer, confessing and worshiping. Good Friday isn’t just about mourning—it’s about celebrating access to God’s heart. Live as a witness to this open door.

Reflect: How will you draw near to God today? Comment below with one way you’ll share the hope of the cross this Good Friday.

Choose this day whom you will serve

*People of God, sons and daughters of the Most High, hear the word of the Lord! The heavens are rumbling, the earth is trembling, and the Spirit of God is calling this generation to awaken from its slumber! I stand before you, not in my own strength, but by the fire of the Almighty, to declare: The time for indecision is over! The time for compromise is finished! Thus says the Lord: “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal is your god, then follow him!” (1 Kings 18:21).* Look around you, O generation! You have built altars to the Baals of this age—idols of pride, pleasure, and power. You worship at the screens of distraction, bowing to the gods of self and success. You have traded the eternal for the fleeting, the holy for the hollow. Your hearts chase after wealth that rusts, fame that fades, and desires that destroy.
