This is the truth of the gospel:
Our access to God isn’t restricted to a temple or a church or any other building, nor must it be through a merely human priest or a guru.
No, 2,000 years ago God broke into history to establish direct access to Himself through Jesus.
Now there is “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all” (1 Timothy 2:5-6).
The temple curtain being torn in two was divine vandalism on your behalf! You don’t have to be sidetracked by priests and rituals anymore. They can be nothing but pointless.
Instead, you can come to God, just as you are, confident of welcome and mercy and help, all because of Jesus.
