A seminary professor once spoke of removing the veils from the Tabernacle so that there might be no obstacles to God's approach to us. A Messiah College student recently posted a poem that made me think of this. Crassly said, we all need a little spiritual turpentine from time to time, allowing the Grace of God and the brightness of Christ's Incarnation, to strip away all that keeps us from accepting God's embrace. Come, Lord Jesus, come!
