Jesus died on the cross to destroy the wall of separation between God and man!

“And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.” (Mark 15:37:38 NKJV)

We were separated from God

Hebrews 9:1-9 explains that in the temple a veil separated the Holy of Holies—the earthly dwelling place of God’s presence—from the rest of the temple where men dwelt. This signified that man was separated from God by sin (Isaiah 59:1-2). Only the high priest was permitted to pass beyond this veil once each year (Exodus 30:10; Hebrews 9:7) to enter into God's presence for all of Israel and make atonement for their sins (Leviticus 16).

Jesus removed the separation!

This passage of Scripture says that the wall of separation “was torn in two from the top to the bottom.” It was not torn from the bottom to the top, but was from the top to the bottom to show that it was done by God not by man! The tearing of the veil at the moment of Jesus' death dramatically symbolized that His sacrifice, the shedding of His own blood, was a sufficient atonement for sins. It signified that now the way into the Holy of Holies was open for all people, for all time, both Jew and Gentile. We no longer need holy men to to be intermediaries for us but we could go directly to God ourselves!

You can now come to God boldly and confidently!

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Heb. 4:16 NKJV)

“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” (Eph. 2:14 NKJV)
