At that moment
the curtain of the temple was torn in two
from top to bottom.
The earth shook, the rocks split
the tombs broke open. Matthew 27:51-52
This is my favorite moment in all of scripture.
At this moment holy and common were merged by the covenant covering of the blood of the Lamb – the Passover sacrifice, the one they asked for in Psalm 116 every year at the Passover seder when they said "Hosanna!" – Lord, save us.
At this moment we came face-to-face with the I Am and He said "Beloved."
