“Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.” (Hebrews 10:20 NLT)
My friend’s mom broke her hip a few weeks ago. Her mom was in a rehab care center after surgery. My friend spent her days by her mom’s side. When I went to visit them, they were in a semi-private room with a curtain in between two beds. The second bed was unoccupied. When my friend’s mom was napping, we would go to the other side of the curtain so as not to disturb her. Every so often, when her mom turned or made any sound, my friend would reassuringly say: “Mom, I’m right here behind the curtain if you need anything.”
What if our entire life were recorded--enabling us to see the visible and the invisible? If we took the time to rewind the footage of our lives, we would recognize that God has always been present. Sometimes we may fail to notice Him because of certain barriers. Christ made the ultimate sacrifice, opening a new, life-giving way through the curtain, so that we have full access to the Holy. We may become somnolent, distracted, complacent, or disoriented; but God remains near, waiting for us to call on Him.
