Scripture
“Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” — Mat_27:51
The Old is Abolished
No mean miracle was wrought in the rending of so strong and thick a veil; but it was not intended merely as a display of power- many lessons were taught to us. The old law of ordinances was put away and like a worn-out vesture, torn and laid aside. When Jesus died, the sacrifices were all finished, because all were fulfilled in him, and therefore the place of their presentation was marked with an evident token of decay.
Manifested in Him
That rent also revealed all the hidden things of the old dispensation: the mercy seat could now be seen, and God’s glory gleamed above it. By the death of our Lord Jesus, we have a clear revelation of God, for He was “not as Moses, who put a veil over his face.” Life and immortality are now brought to light, and things which have been hidden since the foundation of the world are manifest in him.
Once & For All
The annual ceremony of atonement was thus abolished. The atoning blood, which was; once every year sprinkled within the veil, was now offered once and for all by the great High Priest, and therefore the place of the symbolical rite was broken up. No blood of bullocks or of lambs is needed now, for Jesus has entered within the veil with his own blood. Hence access to God is now permitted and is the privilege of every believer in Christ Jesus.
Enter With Him
No small space is laid open to peer at the mercy seat, but the rent reaches from the top to the bottom. We may come with boldness to the throne of heavenly grace. Shall we err if we say that the opening of the Holy of Holies in this marvellous manner by our Lord’s expiring cry was the type of opening of the gates of paradise to all the saints under the Passion? Our bleeding Lord hath the key to heaven; He opens, and no man shuts. Let us enter with Him into the heavenly places and sit with Him there till our common enemies shall be made his footstool.

Scripture
“The Amen.” — Rev_3:14
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
(2Co 1:20-22 KJV)
So Be It
The word AMEN solemnly confirms that which went before; and Jesus is the great Confirmer; immutable, forever is “the Amen” in all his promises. Sinner, I would comfort thee with this reflection. Jesus Christ said, “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” If you come to him, he will say “Amen” in your soul; his promise shall be true to you.
His Word Stands
He said in the days of his flesh, “The bruised reed I will not break.” O thou poor, broken, bruised heart, if you come to Him, he will say “Amen” to thee, and that shall be true in thy soul as in hundreds of cases in bygone years. Christian, is not this very comforting to thee also, that there is not a word which has gone out of the Saviour’s lips which he has ever retracted? The words of Jesus shall stand when heaven and earth shall pass away.
Yea & Amen
If you get a hold of but half a promise, you should find it true. Beware of him who is called “Clip-promise,” who will destroy much of the comfort of God’s word.
Jesus is Yea and Amen in all his offices. He was a Priest to pardon and cleanse once, he is Amen as Priest still. He was a King to rule and reign for his people, and to defend them with his mighty arm, he is an Amen King, the same still. He was a Prophet of old, to foretell good things to come, his lips are most sweet, and drop with honey still-he is an Amen Prophet.
He Sticks Closer than a Brother
He is Amen as to the merit of his blood; he is Amen as to his righteousness. That sacred robe shall remain most fair and glorious when nature shall decay. He is Amen in every single title which he bears; your Husband, never seeking a divorce; your Friend, sticking closer than a brother; your Shepherd, with you in death’s dark vale; your Help and your Deliverer; your Castle and your High Tower; the Horn of your strength, your confidence, your joy, your all in all, and your Yea and Amen in all.

Thought For Today
The following reflection is called ‘You’re Never Alone’ by Ita Ford. She died in El Salvador defending her faith and wrote the reflection for her 16 year old niece Jennifer.
You’re Never Alone
I hope you come to find that something which gives life a deep meaning for you. Something worth living for. Something that energises you, enthuses you and enables you to move ahead. I can’t tell you what it might be. That’s for you, to choose and to love. Don’t waste the gifts and opportunities you have to make yourself and other people happy. Life is a journey and no one can make that journey for you. But always remember, wherever you are, whatever the day and whatever the time, you’re never alone.
