LIFEGATE DENVERBecause you see, this was a point in history where God's presence was something people had to go to. They had to go to the temple to find God's presence, and only certain people at certain times could be there. The the high priest once a year could go into the holy of holies, and what separated them was this giant curtain. But friends, the moment that Jesus was on the cross, the moment that Jesus took on the sin and the shame and the darkness for each one of us, everything that we've done, everything that's been done to us, he took upon himself, and it was in that moment that the curtain tears. The curtain in the temple tore when Jesus was on the cross. Why? Because now, God's presence, you don't have to go find it. It comes after you. Yeah. That's good. God's presence is coming after you. That veil has been torn. Jesus, because of what he did on the cross, now God looks at us and he doesn't see our past. He looks at us and he doesn't see our circumstances. He doesn't see our defects and our downfalls. He looks at us and he sees only the righteousness of Christ. He feels only love towards us. And so this is what we are invited into when we create a place for God's presence to dwell.
