Matthew 27:50-51:
50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.
Ever wondered about the curtain that was "torn in two from top to bottom"? The curtain was the veil that God has instructed Moses to have made to cover the entrance of the tabernacle. Only the high priest was allowed in the tabernacle and anyone else would die upon entry.
When Jeses cried out "It is finished", the curtain ripped allowing everyone to get their first glimpse into the Holy of Holies. The very act of Jesus' death was the completion of the work required for the redemption of man. The veil was now open for all men to enter, Jews and Gentiles alike. Praise God!
