Thank God—it is almost Sunday! In order to help get us ready for church, here is Thomas Watson, from his, "The Happiness of Drawing Near to God” book. . . .
"How we are capable of drawing near to God. . . . By nature we are in opposi-tion to God, (Col. 1:21)—as alienated and enemies. How then can we ap-proach near to God? Answer: It is through a Mediator. Jesus Christ is the screen between us and divine justice. Christ as our High Priest assumes our flesh. Christ's flesh is called a 'veil,' (Heb. 10:20)."As Moses when his face shone so exceedingly bright put a veil upon it, and then Israel was able to approach near to him and look upon him—so Christ having veiled Himself with our human nature, makes it possible for us to now draw near to God and behold Him."
