Devotions For Lent – Day 4

Cherubim Keeping Watch

“You shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it.”
(Exodus 26:31)

Read Genesis 3.

The Garden of Eden was perfect! Then we hear this; “He drove out the man, and . . . He placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life” (Genesis 3:24).

Cherubim were carefully sewn into the veil — keeping watch in order to keep us out. The message was a clear reminder of what was lost in the Garden. If it were not for sin, the only chapters in the Bible would be Genesis 1 & 2, and then Revelation 22. Everything in between tells us how God worked a way to once again give us access to the tree of life.

In the torn veil, the Son of God reveals complete and eternal access to the Father. Today, think about what it means to you that NOTHING stands in the way of you coming to Him.
