The Cross opened our way to God. The gaps, the gaping holes of our sins
filled. By His blood. Not just barely scraping
the bottom, but, overflowing.
It is finished.
His sacrifice - sufficient. Our debt –
paid in full.
The veil of the temple was torn at the time of Christ’s
death indicating that now access has been granted to one and all… who will. 24-7.
Into the command center of the Universe, into the heart of hearts of God
the Father.
If, for example, I scored a jack-pot and got a multi-entry no-expiration date pass into the Buckingham Palace, with
unlimited text and talk with the Queen of England on Her Majesty's private line, I would be a fool not to take advantage of it, realizing what a first-class privilege it is..
Now, if my Buckingham Palace pass turns out to be
not a special privilege granted to a special few, but is, in fact, a special
privilege granted to all who would bother to receive it… ?
Wouldn't you think a little messed up...
Wouldn't you think a little screwed up
to say,
Nah. I have more
important things to do. Or,
I think I'll just wait until Tomorrow.... Or,
I think I'll just wait until Tomorrow.... Or,
I’d much rather live more exciting vicarious life by hanging with all my virtual friends on Facebook, or Twitter, or drool over boards on Pinterest…
Every day – including today, April 26, 2013, we are invited,
encouraged, welcomed to draw near, to come in - as we are - into something much greater than the Buckingham Palace. …Our ticket? His blood..
The Command Center of the Universe is also the Throne of Grace. A place of mercy and undeserved, lavish love and a sole distribution center of strength, and courage and power for every need that arises in our lives - daily!
But that’s not all.
Ten days after Jesus ascended to heaven, and sat down at the aforementioned Command Center
Ten days later, fifty days after Easter, it was as if the Queen of England herself showed up
at our doorstep, hat, gloves and all, and announced that she was moving in!
