At Calvary, God tears the curtain of the flesh of his beloved Son Jesus on the cross, and he tears the curtain of the temple that stood in front of the Holy of Holies. Has God torn the curtain that lies over your heart to understand and experience the salvation that flows from the sufferings of Christ?

In some of Jesus’ final words on the cross—“It is finished”—we learn that Jesus’ earthly mission was finished, his work of redemption was finished, and the power of death was finished. As meditate on this text, let us learn to rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ in the gospel.
