To Penetrate
Written on January 16, 2012
“Having…boldness to enter into the holiest…new and living way…consecrated for us through the curtain, that is to say, His flesh…” (Heb 10:19-23)
How human we are to try to keep many options open! By that we can resist putting it all, our faith upon that one line. But God in His wild desire for us to come through that “curtain” will orchestrate circumstances that will cause us to put it all on the line. It isn’t natural to continually demand a pinpointing from God, there are those times so obvious that we must: a rising child’s temperature in the middle of the night, a diagnosis, the news from a phone call and no one to shoulder it, the suddenness of a calamity. He is either going to move expediently or He won’t. We are brought to the crux of that entryway to the Holiest.
Many of us are finding as we go on in life how often such incidences can seem to come at us daily!
Life has taught us such things are orchestrated that we might penetrate IN! The tear for penetration has already occurred!! The Son of God has let His flesh become that curtain that separated the most Separated place from us.
Even without the force of crisis, the Father beckons us in many ways from behind that curtain, and if we will hear, it will be irresistible not to bring all of us through it.
“having boldness” – means (all + speech) all speech, freedom, unreservedness of utterance, cheerful courage. He wants our every unhindered word.
“new and living way.” The way is in place, dedicated, perfected. “New” – originally meaning freshly slain. “Living” – preserved, alive, to come to be, to become. It has become for us. The Way is now there to walk upon.
“true heart” – unconcealed, manifest (negating to forget, to escape notice), actual, true-to-the-fact. He wants all us our heart facing Him behind the curtain.
Can we see? He wants all of us BEHIND THE CURTAIN and has pulled out all the stops that withhold us. Come! Plant yourself. Full frontage, centered. Come to be fully viewed.
The setting is established. The excellent timeliness of putting it all on the line has come.——————–
