When Jesus was on the cross, the VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS TORN.
Mark 15:38
Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom....
If this was a picture of the outer curtain, then the tear was a public sign confirming Jesus' words of judgment on the temple, later fulfilled in A.D. 70.
Probably the inner curtain was torn, for it was a sign that Jesus' death ended the need for repeated sacrifices for sins, and opened a new and living way of free and direct access to God.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence BEHIND THE VEIL,
where the forerunner has entered FOR US, even JESUS, having become HIGH PRIEST, forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews. 6:19,20
Christ in heaven as our High Priest...
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is , His flesh.
and having a High Priest over the house of God. Hebrews 10
The only person without sin was Christ...
2 Cor. 5:21
For He made Him WHO KNEW NO SIN to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Mary had sin....
God's purpose for her in life was to be the 'mother of Jesus' who was borne sinless,but became sin for us...
It does no good to pray to Mary because she's a forgiven sinner...
Jesus is the only person who is our High Priest without sin.
