Open Heaven 20 April 2025 TOPIC: The Veil Is Torn

MEMORISE: “And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.” – Luke 23:45 (KJV)

READ: Mark 15:25-39 (KJV)

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 6-8

Open Heaven 20 April 2025 MESSAGE

When Jesus died on the cross, the veil that separated us from God was torn. Matthew 27:51 says that when He died, the veil separating the Holy of Holies from everybody except the High Priest was torn from top to bottom. God Himself took the curtain separating us from Him and tore it.

Ephesians 2:12-16 says that the wall between us and God was broken by the blood of Jesus. His sacrifice meant that we could now come in contact with God; His death opened up a new era for humanity. Now, everyone has full access to God through Jesus Christ. It is because of Jesus that I can call God ‘Daddy’. It is because of Him that everyone anywhere, regardless of their skin colour or social status, can experience God’s presence. Jesus died so you can have an intimate relationship with the Father. Is your relationship with God distant or intimate? Jesus died because He wants you to relate with the Father personally. To what extent have you opened your heart to God?

The torn veil signifies the destruction of everything that can keep us from enjoying God’s fullness. Are you sick in your body? Are you in the bondage of addictions? Are you tormented by demons? Jesus tore the veil so that you can access health, deliverance, peace, and freedom. You don’t have to continue struggling through life when you can enjoy all that Jesus’ death has made available to you. I pray that everything hindering you from enjoying good health and peace will be torn like that veil, in Jesus’ name. The torn veil also signifies a new beginning. It means that the old has been taken away. You can now enjoy newness and fullness of life. While the veil remained in the temple, people lived under the old covenant, but as soon as it was torn, mankind was ushered into a new covenant. Hebrews 12:24 says that Jesus is the mediator of the new covenant, and His blood speaks for us. As we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, may His blood speak better things into your life, and may you experience new beginnings in every area of your life where you need newness, in Jesus’ name.

Lastly, the veil represents Jesus’ body (Hebrews 10:19-20). His flesh was torn so that yours can be whole. I pray that from now on, you will experience wholeness in every area of your life, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 20 April 2025 ACTION POINT

Spend some time thanking Jesus for His sacrifice on the cross and for taking away the veil.

Open Heaven 20 April 2025 HYMN 10 – In Christ Alone

1 In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless Babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

3 There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious

Day Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

4 No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From a life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Could ever pluck me from His hand

‘Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I stand
