I love going to concerts. It always thrills me to hear bands I love playing my favorite songs live. However, there's one concert experience I've never had. I've always wanted to get one of those all-access, backstage passes that lets you walk into the band's dressing room, have a meet-and-greet session, maybe even get on stage and sing with the band! Unfortunately, those passes are a little out of my price range. But if I ever came across one, you can be sure that EVERYONE would know about it!
So often we take for granted the privileges we have as Christians. We get to go past the curtain, to enter the Holy of Holies, into the presence of God himself. And while it may seem like we can enter in freely, which we can, we forget that this ultimate backstage pass came at a higher price than we could ever imagine, something out of all of our price ranges: "We have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh" (vv. 19-20).
