The Torn Curtain
"And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom."Matthew 27:51
Reflection
A huge curtain separated people from the holiest place. When Jesus died, it tore from top to bottom. Now everyone can come near God.
Prayer
God, thank You that I can talk with You any time. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What did the curtain in the temple separate?
- Why did it tear from top to bottom?
- What does it mean that we can come near God now?
5-minute activity
Hang a sheet or blanket across a doorway. Then pull it down together and walk through. Talk about how Jesus opened the way for everyone to come near God. Read Matthew 27:50-51 and Hebrews 10:19-22.
