The Blessing Behind the Curtain!
William Wyne
Matthew 27:51
At that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split. (NIV)
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.
The Bible is full of what we would be called object lessons to help us see what God is doing or what God is saying. We find object lessons throughout the scriptures that serve as a light to help us see. Object lessons are windows that allow light into God's mind, heart, ways, and words.
In the Old Testament, God sent Jeremiah down to the Potter's house to observe the work of the Potter. The Bible says that the vessel became marred in the Potter's hand. But he watches the Potter reshape the clay, and remold the vessel that it may have another chance.
Then God said to him, am I not the Potter? Is Israel not my clay? Are you and them not in my hands? Do I not know what I intend for you to become? Go back to them even during their wrong and waywardness, tell them that I can do what the Potter does, I can remake them.
In the Book of Hosea, God applied the adulterous and immoral way of life of Gomer, the prostitute in her relationship with the Prophet Hosea. He had taken her in as his wife, even though he knew her past, he knew her history. Only to discover that after he had brought her out of that lifestyle, she had betrayed him and the children that he thought were his were not, and then she left him and went back out into a life of infidelity only to be placed on the auction block to be sold to the highest bidder.
Hosea bought her back with his preacher's salary, his revival money. God said, now Hosea when you preached to Israel about unfaithfulness and betrayal, you know how I feel. You can speak on my behalf at a personal level, because what Gomer did to you. You now have a better understanding of my heart and hurt of what Israel did to me. ...
