THE FIRST EASTER

The priest steps behind the inner veil in the temple, lifts the knife to sacrifice the lamb on the alter for atonement for sin for the people waiting outside. Jesus, dying on a cross outside of town, cries, "It is finished!" The earth trembles & quakes. Startled, the priest drops the knife & the lamb escapes as the sacred veil of the temple is torn from top to bottom by an unseen hand. The way into the holiest is now laid open to the people. Just as Jesus had said, "I am the Way, the Truth & the LIFE, No one comes to the Father except through ME."
