Matthew 27:51

[51] And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. (ESV)

In the Old Testament, the “Holy of Holies” was considered the most holy place on earth - it was seen as off limits beyond specific circumstances. But when Jesus was crucified, the veil that separated this holy space was torn from top to bottom. The reality for the believer in Christ today is that we have access to God directly not because of our own holiness, but because of Jesus' sacrifice on our behalf. In Jesus, it is as if we can enter the Holy of Holies with the same merit Jesus would. He has made God's presence available to us any time, any place.
