And Jesus cried again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit. And behold the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom; and the earth shook, and the rocks were split; the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Matthew 27:50 – 53
Lord, I can’t remember ever seeing this before or anyone ever talking about the others that were raised after being dead. This was an amazing event. I have always heard in the Easter story about the curtain being torn in two in the temple. I’m sure that must have been shocking to those alive at that time. But these that were raised from the dead must have been shocking too.
Oh how I thank You for ‘yielding up Your spirit’ for me and my sin.
Thank You for the resurrection and the fact that today You live.
Oh how we praise You. Oh how I thank You.
Thank You Lord.
