- 0:00Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
- 0:02Huddle for May 14, 2025. Your twominute
- 0:06play of the day for applying God's word
- 0:08to your life. So, let's huddle up and
- 0:10hear today's play from Mark 15, which
- 0:13says, "With a loud cry, Jesus breathed
- 0:16his last. The curtain of the temple was
- 0:18torn in two from top to bottom. And when
- 0:22the centurion who stood there in front
- 0:24of Jesus saw how he died, he said,
- 0:26"Surely this man was the son of
- 0:30God." The tearing of the temple in Mark
- 0:3215 is packed with theological
- 0:35significance. First, it means a
- 0:37separation of God's presence, the holy
- 0:39of holies from the rest of humanity was
- 0:42removed. Now everyone in Christ has
- 0:44access to God in Christ who is himself
- 0:47God. Second, it means the sacrificial
- 0:51system of animal sacrifice through the
- 0:53Levitical priest is over. Jesus is our
- 0:56high priest whose one-time sacrifice
- 0:59completed all the sacrifices required of
- 1:01man. Jesus's shed blood permanently and
- 1:04forever cleanses his reconciled people
- 1:07from all unrighteousness.
- 1:09Third, the tearing of the curtain was
- 1:11from top to bottom, signifying that this
- 1:14action was initiated by God for men and
- 1:17not men from God. God moved first to
- 1:20reconcile men to himself. Our
- 1:23responsibility is to respond to the
- 1:25kindness and mercy of God. Fourth, the
- 1:28removal of the veil means access to God
- 1:31is not limited to just one class of
- 1:33people, priests, but to all people,
- 1:35including Gentiles. It has always been
- 1:38God's heart that all people from every
- 1:41tribe and nation become his reconciled
- 1:43and adopted children. Finally, the
- 1:46tearing signified the coming fulfillment
- 1:48of God's judgment against the temple
- 1:50system, which would be the end of seeing
- 1:53God as dwelling in one place through one
- 1:55people. God would now inhabit all of his
- 1:58people by his Holy Spirit. people from
- 2:01every nation as his church continued to
- 2:03spread the good news of what God has
- 2:05done for humanity through Jesus and the
- 2:08cross, the sacrificial savior of the
- 2:10Growth.
