Jesus, the Open Way Through the Veil
When God appeared to the Israelites at Mount Sinai, they were fearful of God’s presence. Moses became their intermediary. All through the history of Israel, priests were the mediators. But even they were prohibited from going whenever they wanted into the Most Holy apartment of the tabernacle. The veils functioned both as boundaries and protection for the priests when ministering in the sanctuary. Hebrews invites its audience, and by implication us, to approach the sanctuary through the veil; that is, through the flesh of Christ (Heb. 10:20).
