But see what the New Testament tells us. When our Lord completed the mighty work of redemption at the cross of Calvary, we read that He cried with a loud voice, “IT IS FINISHED,” and gave up the ghost. As these triumphant words fell from His blessed lips, the VEIL of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom—rent by the hand of God Himself, declaring His full satisfaction with the atoning work accomplished on the cross, His full acceptance of it as meeting all the claims of His holiness in respect of sin, and setting the believer free to enter into the holiest of all in virtue of the precious blood shed; that is, consciously to be in the presence of God, and eventually to enter heaven itself, the bliss of the Lord’s presence, and the joy of the Father’s house.
