Matthew 27:51-54 Suddenly, the curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, rocks were split open, tombs were opened, and many saints who had died were brought back to life. After his resurrection, they came out of their tombs, went into the Holy City, and appeared to many people. When the centurion and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, “This man certainly was the Son of God!”
Jesus has the power to open that which was closed. At His Incarnation, He came and opened up the heavens after a long period of seeming silence. Angels appeared, stars shone, God's Glory was revealed in a way we could see and hear. The same happened at Jesus' death: the curtain keeping us away was torn, the graves were opened, and the mouths of many spoke in testimony to His Great power. God has an open-door policy: Jesus opened the door and asks us to open our lives to Him. It's like those adjoining motel rooms with doors on both sides. He has opened His side and is knocking to see if we will open ours.
