Today, we dive into the immediate aftermath of Jesus' death as recounted in Matthew's Gospel. The tearing of the Temple curtain symbolizes the end of separation between God and humanity, while earthquakes and raised saints testify to the significance of the event. Even Roman guards acknowledge Jesus' divinity. The presence of devoted women underscores the importance of their witness to Jesus' death and eventual resurrection.
As we reflect on this in-between period, we find solace in the knowledge that hope prevails, even in the darkest times. Join us as we explore the profound implications of these events and their relevance to our lives today.
