Thanks for sharing!

There is a common theme in this devotional... unchanging. I think that contradicts the Bible and suggests a limitation to God.

Did he not change from the Old to the New Testament from legalistic to grace, unbounded?

No.

God reveals himself as unchanging.

Malachi 3:6 For I, the Lord, do not change;

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

There is no change in God from OT to NT. He is the great I Am

And unbounded grace is all throughout the OT. As Paul writes to Timothy, the grace we receive in Christ was given before the beginning of time.

What changed is that he entered into this world as fully God/fully man and gave witness to the truth with his ministry, death, and resurrection.

I think you meant to ask if the law changed rather than if God changed.

The Law never changed either. The Covenant changed. The veil to the temple was torn in half. The Law remained.

I think a lot of people mistake what the veil being torn means. The veil wasn't a VIP only sign. The arc of the Torah story is God dwelling with people, sin causing that to be dangerous, and the resulting push and pull between holiness, danger, and proximity. The Torah was a (temporary) solution for God to draw near and affect the plan of salvation. The veil in the tabernacle was part of that - it's there to protect the (sinful) priests from the presence of God.

The tearing of the veil, as I have been taught, means it is now possible for God to sanctify and dwell within humans. This isn't a change in the Torah or people but in the change caused by the Incarnation - the union of the divine with the human nature. And the result is the personal presence of God in His Spirit being able to dwell within humans - and all humans, not just Judaeans. Thats one reason why the focus of Acts is on the Spirit coming not just on the Judaeans but also on gentiles.

Has nothing to do with intercession or priesthood or whatever else. The veil separated the priests from the holy of holies too.
