“And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom” (v50). The shocking reality of the innocent Son of God bearing the weight of our sins, experiencing our distance from the Father (v46), and undergoing death itself caused the world to fundamentally change. The curtain of the temple – symbol of our separation from a holy God – split in two, opening the way into God’s presence forever. As a foretaste of the future, many “saints” were resurrected (v53).

“And the earth shook, and the rocks were split” (v51). All creation was shaken when the King laid down his life to rescue us.
