Mark 15:37-38
New Living Translation (NLT)
37 Then Jesus uttered another loud cry and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
A heavy curtain hung in front of the temple room called the Most Holy Place, a place reserved by God for Himself. Symbolically, the curtain separated the holy God from sinful people. The room was entered only once a year, on the Day of Atonement, by the high priest as he made a sacrifice to gain forgiveness for the sins of all the people. When Jesus died, the curtain was torn in two, showing that His death for our sins opened up the way for us to approach our Holy God. And it was torn from top to bottom showing that God had opened the way.
