We can think of it as substitution - His life for ours. It is the ground of our redemption and the basis of victory. It was God reconciling the world to Himself. You can look at Christ's death in many different ways. Our reading today emphasises the truth that Christ's death and His risen life opened the door of access to God Himself and to all the treasures He has for us. Christianity is a "religion" of access. No other religion can claim this. Access means an open door, a means of approach, or the right to enter. That is all ours in Christ. Ephesians 3:12 says it well. "In Him (Christ) and through faith in Him (that's important) we may approach God with freedom and confidence." Or Ephesians 2:18, "For through Him (Christ) we both have access to the Father by one Spirit." We have access to His love, His wisdom, and His understanding. At any moment we can go to Him. His line is never busy. We can look up into the face of God without fear and say, "Father..." In our reading today in verse 19 the writer reminds us that the way into the very presence of God was not always as open as it is today. But now we have a new and living way - Christ Himself, our risen Lord is there and the curtain which hung between man and God has been taken away. The way is open now to anyone and the "welcome" sign is there over the doorway. The place of real communion with God is there waiting for us. Here we can speak with God face to face. The big question must be - how often do we use our privilege that has been bought for us by Christ? Notice the command in verse 22, "Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith..." God is the waiting Father, waiting for His children to take time to be with Him and to talk over their life with Him. What does that say to each one of us today? Remember Christ is the way of access - for each of us today.
