Hello, my friends. Welcome to another Follow Him favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm here with the incredible John by the way. Welcome John. Good to be back, Hank. John anyone who's been following Follow Him favorites this year knows that we do one thing. We answer a single question from this week's lesson. John, the question that comes up this week is from Matthew 27 verse 51. It's just after Jesus dies, gives up the ghost, it says, and the veil of the temple is torn in two from the top to the bottom. The question is, John, why do you think that happened right after Jesus died?

Yeah, I think that this is all symbolic. And well, who could go into the temple before this time? Right. Who could go into the Holy Police? What we would call the Celestial Room. One person, one day a year. Right. And maybe symbolically now, all of us can go. And that's available to all of us.

And as the veil was rent, so Jesus was bruised, broken, torn, rent even. And He is our way to the Father, right? He is our holy, holy to the Father. Absolutely. The veil of the temple is a symbol of Christ. I didn't learn that until I read the book of Hebrews. In Hebrews chapter 10, it says that Christ has made for us a way through the veil that is to say is flesh. So the veil of the temple represents the body

of Christ. And those who have been endowed have special experiences where we get to approach the veil one at a time and thrust our hand into his side and feel the prince of his hands. It's a beautiful symbol and I can see exactly why Matthew brought it up. I like what you said that the celestial room or the celestial kingdom is now open to everyone. It's now open everyone not just one person one day a year. So that wasn't a bad thing the veil of temple is right that was actually a wonderful thing not just one person on a certain day But it's available tall now almost a he did it moment It's the grand opening of the celestial kingdom Awesome, we hope you'll join us on our full podcast.
