CHRIST died that He might bring us to God; this was God's purpose from the beginning; but what was in the way? Righteousness. The moment Christ died, the veil was rent, and the Saviour and His saved were brought into immediate proximity to God, in the light. Now He has His wish: the heavens are opened; there is nothing between us and God but the veil of this body: in title we are with Him now: the cross has opened heaven; the glory is its answer. B—k.
