“The veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom. Why is this added to the holy record? Undoubtedly it points to the fact that all this cross and dying, all this redemption and glory, is a work of the triune God. He will not give his praises to another. The veil is rent. Oh yes, God reached down into the temple, and with his own hands ripped the veil in twain! There is gospel joy in that act. The Holy of Holies had been shut to all men because of their evil, filth, corruption and guilt. And this is the gospel: a man was found that would open the door that led to the Holy of Holies, the Home of God. And that man was Jesus. To the church of Jesus Christ, this act of God is gospel joy. The door is open! Through the death of Jesus, a new and living way is opened to the heart of God. We will come, we do come, to Thee, for Thou art our God in this dying Christ!”
