Moving Into The Glory

Intro: one of the dangers of reading the Bible is we can have ears and not really hear. Mark 15:38—where the veil of the temple is rent in twain, do we realize the full impact of what Christ accomplished on the cross. There is now no more separation between man and God.

Today, I would like to visit the four places of the tabernacle, and preach on moving into the glory of God.

Moving Into The Glory of God

Mark 15:38

The holy of holies where the ark of the covenant stayed represented the place of God’s glory, today we have access to this glory through the better sacrifice of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
