Wednesday, August 22nd: Psalms 52-54, Matthew 27:32-66 ~ Tammy

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Psalms 52-54, Matthew 27:32-66

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[c] went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
Those were some amazing miracles!

The ripping of the temple curtain doesn't sound miraculous - but it was so thick and heavy that the fact that it was torn in two was truly astounding.  And the symbolism is beautiful too.

And then rocks splitting, tombs opening, and dead people rising from the dead?!

There was no doubt that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus was an earth shattering event that changed the course of history forever.
