---JESUS: Mediator Between God and Men~~

--No one but the high priest entered the Holy of Holies. No one. To do so meant death. Two of Aaron's sons died when they entered the Holy of Holies in order to offer sacrifices to the Lord (Leviticus 16:1,2). In no uncertain terms, the curtain declared:... "This far and no farther!"

What did fifteen hundred years of curtain-draped Holy of Holies communicate? Simple. God is Holy...separate from us and unapproachable.

Oh, but there is a way, through Jesus! Jesus hasn't left us with an unapproachable God. Yes, God is holy. Yes, we are sinful. But, yes, yes, yes, Jesus is our Mediator...is not a mediator one who "goes between"? Wasn't Jesus the curtain between us and God? And wasn't His flesh torn?

What appeared to be the cruelty of man was actually the sovereignty of God...

-We are welcome to enter into God's presence--any day, any time. God has removed the barrier that separates us from Him. The barrier of sin? Down. He has removed the curtain! Hallelujah!

-Make no mistake about it--we are in a battle. The minute we sided with Jesus, we gain ourselves an enemy who is bent on stopping the progress of the Gospel message. Fortunately, we are on the winning side. Thankfully, persecution did not stop the Apostles. Don't let it stop you.

-Now, because of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, we can come to God 24/7's. 'Call on the Name of the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved.' Go ahead, call on His Great Name!
