A Significant Detail

 (ID: 2033)

Matthew, Mark, and Luke all mention that at the moment of Jesus’ death, the curtain in the temple was torn. Such a detail might be easy to write off as insignificant. In this examination of Mark 15:33, however, Alistair Begg shows us how vital it was that the veil between God and man was removed. Similarly, when we allow Christ to rend the veils we use to cover our own hearts, we experience the fullness of His glory.


38And bthe curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
