Jesus, Thank You

This is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I don't know who wrote it. But I love them. Oh, and just so you know Calvary was the place where Jesus was tortured and executed.

The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me

Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You

By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near
Your enemy You’ve made Your friend
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end

Lover of my soul
I want to live for You

The Most Holy Place

In Ancient Israel there was a small part of the temple, sectioned off by a thick curtain, called the Most Holy Place, this was the place where God 'dwelled', and that the high priest was allowed to enter. Once a year. After ceremonial washing and oil on his head. And he had to bring a sacrifice. If he was the slightest bit unclean he would die instantaneously.

But during Jesus' death the curtain in the temple ripped from top to bottom, showing that there was no longer a barrier or any arduous ceremonies in order to 'get to God', but that God's dwelling place was now with men. That's crazy.

It means that to 'get to God' or to 'talk to Him' all I have to do is just that. Talk. No ceremonial washings or killing small animals, I just talk. And its so easy to just casually meander into the 'Most Holy Place' without realising the massive privilege that it is.
