Daily Devotional - Day 45

Good Friday

Today’s Reading: (Matthew 27:51-52)

Sixty feet long and thirty feet high, the veil separated sin-stained people from a holy God. Only a Jewish priest could go beyond it into the Holy of Holies. But when Christ died, His sacrifice provided the opportunity for a relationship and right standing with the Father.

As Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb, exhaled His final breath on the cross, God miraculously split the veil—clearing the way for men, women, and children to seek salvation through Christ, who is the door to eternal life.

At the same time, the Earth rebelled. Rocks shifted and ruptured as people lurched on unsteady feet. Minutes before, both the religious and the Romans mocked the man on the cross. While some were confused and afraid, others marveled because they realized Jesus was the Son of God.

Reflection Question for Today: 

Which of the miracles mentioned in today’s scripture is most impactful to you and why?

A Holy Friday Prayer: 

Jesus, your death altered worship forever. Now, we can stand in the presence of a Holy God, lifting our hands in adoration—fully forgiven. You opened the door for us to enter the kingdom if we confess and believe. We glorify your name and praise you for your inexpressible love. Amen
