Before we step away from the shadows of the cross and tomb, let’s take one more look around to see we haven’t missed anything.
After six weeks of tuning our senses and readying our spirits in preparation, we’ve once again lived through the agony of watching Christ crucified bearing the weight of our sins, and then felt the elation of discovering His tomb empty.
Matthew’s account of the moment of Jesus’ death includes several details we don’t want to miss, including God reaching down from heaven to rip an 1,800 square foot curtain in the Jerusalem temple in two...and oh yeah, a whole bunch of other people resurrected back to life.
