Have you ever been to a ticketed event before? Concerts and other live events will often have multiple tiers of entry, from the cheap seats far away from the action, to the front row seats where you can almost reach out and touch the performers.
But there may also be special access tickets beyond the basic tiers of up close, far, and nosebleed seating. These tickets unlock experiences beyond merely sitting in the seats and watching from a distance. Backstage access, green room privileges, and even opportunities to meet and greet with the performers are all unlocked with these hard-to-get passes.
The most expensive ticket of all will read “All Access,” unlocking everything the event and venue have to offer. Nothing is restricted – just full access to everything that is available.
Matthew 27:50-51 NIV
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split
Up until this moment, the only access into the inner court of the temple was once a year by a High Priest entering with the blood of a sacrifice. When Jesus gave up His life on the cross, the veil was torn from top to bottom. Top to bottom means that God did this. God remodeled the temple and gave access to the holy of holies for whosoever enters through the blood of Jesus.
Matthew 28:5-7 NIV
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
When Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb of Jesus, an Angel had rolled away the stone, and the tomb was open…but empty.
The resurrected Jesus was alive from the dead. The stone was not rolled away for Jesus to come out: the stone was rolled away to let us in! To allow us to see that sin, death, and the grave had been conquered by Jesus and eternal life was open to all who believe.
Jesus paid it all so that we can have “All Access” to all of the blessings of salvation in Christ. It’s all about Jesus giving us all access to the Kingdom of God through salvation!!!
