And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His Spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple ripped in two from top to bottom. 
Matthew 27:50-51

At the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, the curtain inside the Holy temple was torn from top to bottom. This temple curtain was a barrier to the middle portion of the temple that was only accessed once a year by the high priest who would offer a sacrifice for the sins of people. 
The significance of this curtain being torn is symbolic of Christ life and death on earth. 

The creator of human life, God, loves us. Because of His holiness we are not able to stand in His presence because of our sinful lives. A sacrifice had to be offered to atone for our sins.  Christ was that sacrifice and paid that sin debt for us...forever. Because of His death and resurection, we don't have to separate ourselves from the world to stand in His holy presence. We can experience His presence, His holiness, anywhere 24/7. 

Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Have you asked Him to forgive your sins and come into your life..believing Him,trusting Him daily? If not, you can do that right now by a simple prayer to God...something like this...."dear Jesus, I am a sinner and I deserve hell. I believe in you and know you died for my sins. I ask that you forgive my sins and come into my life so we can walk together every day. Thank you for loving me enough to die for my sins.". Amen! Your belief and acceptance of Jesus Christ has just washed you clean of your sins...you can now experience to presence of God in your life. 

The door to His holy presence is open to receive you...walk in and experience true peace, joy and freedom as you journey through life with God.  
Have a blessed day! ‎
