14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
-Hebrews 4:14-16 (NIV)
God is available to us. We do not have to await a mediator in the form of a priest or anyone else. Jesus serves as our "great high priest" who "did not sin." He is our mediator, seated at the right hand of the throne of God and advocating for us before God.
Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
- Mark 15:38 (NKJV)
He makes our access to God available to us. The work of Jesus upon the cross brought about the torn veil that led to the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctuary of the temple where access to God was limited to those of the priestly order. That was destroyed and torn in two by the sacrifice of Jesus. We, as believers through His shed blood, now have access to God.
Take some time and spend it with God, meditating on the sacrifice of Jesus.
