Amazing morning doing some Maundy Thursday stations at church. One was about the veil... Realizing how unaware of my own shortcomings and unholiness it is to become and that I have become.
They could only approach God behind the veil in the Holy of Holies once a year, with one chosen priest, with sacrifice and much cleansing, in special clothing, etc. And even then they could die at facing God. With all the sacrifices they had to do I feel like they had a better reality of their sin in some ways than I do on modern times. Atleast a better understanding of the cost...
Praying Lord, that I wouldn't become numb and blind to the gravity of the sin and shortcomings in my life just because they seem less noticable than what goes on around me. Praying I would care more about a clean heart than a clean image... And that I wouldn't settle for "...by comparison to these other people..." But that I would be aware that even my best falls far short of your holiness and nothing I do can change that outside of Easter and Christ tearing that veil for me so I can be close to you when I never could have otherwise.
