That Ripped Veil

When Jesus died on the cross, there were earthquakes, rocks shattered, graves burst open, and long dead saints got up and walked about the city. But there was a greater miracle.

Mark 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

The veil in Solomon's Temple hung between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies. Only the High Priest could go behind it one day each year. God met him there.

That veil stood as a barrier between man and God. It was so thick it was said that a team of horses could not tear it apart.

The moment Jesus died, that massive veil ripped down the middle, ending the Jewish sacrificial system and proclaiming that the only way to God was open for all who came to Jesus. They would be saved by His grace. 

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man commeth unto the Father but by me.
