Matthew 27:51 (a) This torn veil tells the wonderful story of an open way into the presence of GOD, and also for an open way for GOD to come forth in blessing to His people Sin had been a terrible hindrance. Now that Christ had died for sin, and for sins, and for sinners, GOD could come out in grace and kindness to offer salvation to every living person. Now the sinner could enter GOD's presence because of the precious Blood of JESUS. (See Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45; Hebrews 10:20).
