Topic: BEYOND THE VEIL (Part 2)!
Memory Verse: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" - 2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV
Bible Text: Mark 15:37-38 KJV
37. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
INSPIRATION: There's something deeply different and transformative beyond the veil that everyone should long for. It takes you far beyond the mundane routines of meaninglessness to a tangibly impactful life of dedication, commitment with a sense of a higher calling. Beyond the veil, you do not just feel the glory but can touch it; you're surrounded with His presence, not in a surreal form but in a reality that's so powerfully transformative. Beyond the veil, Christ is not a theoretical concept, but a personal experience deeply rooted in truth.
Did you notice that the veil tore from top to bottom? It's an indication that it is God's own idea and workings, not just to give you unfettered access, but to also change your thinking pattern. Have a head that's truly functional, that can process thoughts, be upwards and mobile and have an elevated worldview. You can't be the head and still be filled with tail attitude; you can't have the world ahead of you and your eyes are still shut to the realities and possibilities that abound towards you. God would tell Abram to look up as far as he could see was his (Gen. 13: 14 - 17).
Beyond the veil, you transition from dead works to perfection in Christ (Heb. 6: 1-3). The depth of revelation that's beyond the cannot be explained anyway else but to be experienced. Here's everything pales into insignificance for the glory of His presence. His Majestic Splendor pulls you on your knees as you cry, "Holy to the Lamb." Unfortunately, until the veil is torn, you cannot see Him as He real is. Whilst we focus on the Temple Veil, you must realise your heart is that veil that needs to be torn today (Joel 2: 13) for you to behold the glory of the Lord in His manifold expressions.
TODAY'S TAKE HOME:
Before the veil, you needed a middle man; beyond the veil, Christ is your mediator. His love unwraps mysteries and ensures you live your life to its fullest fulfilment.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for your death that tore the veil and gave me access to all of You and the ability to live up to my best potentials. Thank You for taking away barriers, limitations and for projecting me to the limelight. As I behold the glories beyond the veil, I'm transformed daily into the revelations I see, in Jesus name, Amen.
