This song depicts entering the Holy of Holies, the place where God dwells. This is home. It is in this song that Neal Morse connects the crippled to us. "From a list of laws seeing all our flaws to the blind and lame, we are all the same." All of us are spiritually crippled. But then, the good news: "Our High Priest has come to make us all as one in Him!" Neal then says that He will come and live with us if we will only let Him. It's really that easy! We must just accept His will and strive to keep His commandments, and He will make His abode with us. We, too, can be inside of His presence.
Neal also talks about the other outcasts--the gentiles. The Gospel was confined to just the Israelites until the Savior's sacrifice. Then, the Gospel went out to everyone and everybody could partake of the Spirit. Now all of us can be the temple of the Spirit. There are no more outcasts! Or at least, there doesn't have to be outcasts. Anybody willing to be part of the Gospel is not only welcome, but beckoned to take part of it. All of this because of our High Priest.
How blessed we are to live in a time when the Gospel is available to everybody! How privileged we can be to have the Holy Ghost with us all the time! I am so grateful for the Gospel! It has changed my life in so many ways. I know it is all possible because of Jesus Christ. He really did atone for our sins, performing the ultimate sacrifice, completely fulfilling the Law of Moses. Everything in the Old Testament, including all the laws, ordinances, and miracles, pointed towards Jesus Christ. Now, everything that has happened since points back to Him. He is the center of everything. I know that one day I can also be taken behind "the final veil" and be face to face with Him and live inside His presence for the rest of eternity.
