Exodus 26 · Grade 4
The Veil
Read and Think
The tabernacle was beautiful and carefully made. God cares about beauty and order. Every part was made exactly as God planned.
The veil separated the holy place from the most holy place. Only the high priest could go behind it, once a year. Sin keeps people away from a holy God.
In the New Testament, when Jesus died on the cross, the veil in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). Christians have read this as showing that through Jesus, the way to God is open. Hebrews 10:19-20 says we can enter with boldness by the new and living way He opened for us.
