**Mark 15:38** — *"And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom."*
From top to bottom. Not from the bottom up, as if torn by human hands reaching. From the top — meaning God Himself split it.
That veil was not decorative cloth. It was sixty feet high, four inches thick — a deliberate boundary marking where the holy presence of God dwelled, inaccessible to all but the High Priest, once a year, under strict covenant protocol.
And at the moment Christ breathed His last, God removed it.
No longer would a priest stand between the beloved and their Father. No longer would mercy require an intermediary ritual. The way was opened — not by religious achievement, but by sacrifice freely given.
Hebrews 10:19 calls it *"confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus."*
Walk with that today. You do not dwell at a distance. You were drawn near.
