Introduction
Previous sermon:
God wants for us to look at things beyond the flesh, beyond the material things of this world
The veil of this world is taken away only in Christ - when a person turns to Him
To look beyond the veil means
to see things that are unseen
to walk by faith
to regard your brothers and sisters as new creation in Christ
Today’s message:
One cannot look beyond the veil and remain on this side of the veil
For one to look and see things beyond the veil, one must go through the veil and be able to stand behind that veil.
you are looking AT the things that are eternal
We must be learn how to approach the thrones of God
Main Body
It is possible to stand and live before the Presence of God.
Certain Old Testament believers of God had the privilege of standing before God beyond the veil - Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Gideon
Abraham
Moses
Joshua
Note - there are 2 ways man can be in the presence of God, literally.
Gideon
God steps out of the veil into our side - Angel of the Lord, man visiting Abraham, etc.
Man steps into the Presence of God beyond the veil - Moses
Note - There are 2 ways in which man is able to stand before the Presence of God
The first is when God steps out from His place into a “veil” of material body
The second is when man is ushered into the Presence of God beyond the veil of flesh.
Abraham met God on this side of the veil.
Jacob wrestled with the Man, and angel of the LORD
Gideon saw the angel of the LORD
,
Moses saw spoke with God and saw His form
See
Aaron and succeeding priests - they met with God once a year behind the veil
God has consecrated for us a new and living way into His Presence!
It is called “new” in comparison to the OT way of worship
where the priests can only stand before the veil
where the High Priest can only stand for a few hours and must soon leave the Most Holy
It is called “living” because it brings life
For us Gentiles - it is just THE WAY, THE LIVING WAY
God does not want His people to remain in the outer court.
He wants us INSIDE - BEHIND THE VEIL WITH HIM!
We are called to “draw near” - to approach, come forward
We can “draw near” to God
The invitation is for the blood-washed worshiper only
,
With a “true heart”
We draw near to God with confidence that our lives have been and is continually being washed by the blood of Jesus Christ
Holding fast the confession of hope without wavering.
We draw near to God confessing our complete trust in His promises.
Considering your brethren in Christ
We draw near to God with our brethren in mind - finding ways to motivate them to love and good works.
Participating in our assembling together
We draw near to God by coming together in worship, not just for ourselves, but also for other brethren, where we exhort one another.
Conclusion
It is in that place beyond this veil of flesh that we can truly -
see God for who He is, and
understand His ways for what they are, and
see look at our brethren for what God has done in their lives.
It is in that place beyond the veil of flesh that we can truly “walk with God”
Enoch’s testimony - he walked with God
he began to walk with God after the birth of his firstborn, Methuselah
Enoch walked with God or 300 years!
It is in that place beyond the veil of flesh that we can truly “see Him who is invisible”!
Moses forsook Egypt -
he refused to be called son of pharaoh’s daughter
he chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God that to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin
he refused to be called the son of pharaoh’s daughter
he esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches that the treasures of Egypt
BECAUSE HE SAW GOD BEHIND THE VEIL
