BLESSINGS OF THE CROSS - DAY 23
When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave
up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple
was torn in two from top to bottom.
MATTHEW 2 7 : 5 0 - 5 1 ( N I V )
It’s as if the hands of heaven had been
gripping the veil, waiting for this moment. Keep in
mind the size of the curtain—sixty feet tall and thirty feet
wide. One instant it was whole; the next it was ripped in
two from top to bottom. No delay. No hesitation.
What did the torn curtain mean? For the Jews it
meant no more barrier between them and the Holy of
Holies. No more priests to go between them and God.
No more animal sacrifices to atone for their sins.
And for us? What did the torn curtain signify
for us?
We are welcome to enter into God’s presence—any
day, any time. God has removed the barrier that separates
us from him. The barrier of sin? Down. He has
removed the curtain.
