Last week, the veil was torn, and the door opened. This week, we step into the room and see what’s at the center: the Ark of the Covenant, God’s throne on earth. The Ark carried evidence of humanity’s failure: the broken commandments, the manna, and the rod. But God didn’t remove them; He covered them. Mercy doesn’t dismiss truth; it transforms how truth is applied. Over the law lay the Mercy Seat, the golden lid where blood was applied, and glory appeared. The Mercy Seat was the literal meeting place of heaven and earth, where justice and grace joined.
