Scripture to Meditate on, Matthew 27:50-54

“⁵⁰ Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. ⁵¹ And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; ⁵² and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, ⁵³ and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. ⁵⁴ Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.” – Matthew 27:50-54 AV.

We no longer need the high priest to access God, the veil ripping in twain signifying we now have direct access to God through prayer. “But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:” – Hebrews 9:7 AV. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” – Hebrews 4:16 AV
