In biblical times, when tragedy struck, a man would rent or rip open his garment as a sign of grief (Ezra 9:3). When Jesus died, I picture God renting his clothes in Heaven as a sign of grief over his son, the physical manifestation of this being the temple curtain ripped or rent apart. No one else could have done what Jesus did. His heart of love replaced the formality and institutionalized rhetoric of the law and made possible a temple of God inside every believer.
