Jesus' Death and The Events After It

Mark 15:37-39

Jesus‘ death happened in a loud and powerful way. Jesus did not die as other men died. It was this that surprised the captain of the soldiers. He called Jesus: "the son of God."

Immediately, powerful things happened in Jerusalem. The most important event happened at God‘s Great House. A strong curtain was in front of the most important room there. That room was special for God. The priests did not go into it. Only the most important priest went there, once each year. But that curtain tore completely. God had done it. He did not want his special place to remain separate from his people. He wanted to be with them. He wanted to live in their lives (1 Corinthians 3:16). And this had become possible because of Jesus‘ death.
