Out Of The Darkness Came Light

Mark5:33  

"And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness 

over the whole land until the ninth hour." 

    When it was twelve o'clock midday, there came a darkness over the whole earth, and it lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. And at three o'clock which was the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost. Here was the last scene of all, a scene so terrible that the sky was unnaturally darkened and it seemed that even nature could not bear to look upon what was happening. Here we have the divine paradox; Jesus knew what it was to be a sinner. And Jesus had never known what it was like to be separated by this barrier "sin" from God.     

    The way to God was now wide open. Into the Holy of Holies where only the High Priest could go, and he only once a year on the day of Atonement. But now, the curtain was torn and the way to God was wide open to mankind. Within the Holy of Holies dwelt the very essence of God. Now with the death of Jesus the curtain which hid God was torn and men could see him face to face. No longer was God hidden. Men could look at Jesus and say, "That is what God is like! God loved me so much, that He gave His only begotten son for me! My Friend, God loves you that much and more!

Amen!
