“And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom” Mark 15:38
My mother always loved this line from Mark about the curtain being ripped apart. She saw it as God tearing away the barriers that were there between God and humans (who made those barriers she left open to interpretation). Rollins takes this same passage and looks into that room in the temple. What he finds is astonishing because there is nothing there, it is an empty room. God has fled and joined in with the gathered people and the scapegoats of the world. From there he goes into his main points of scapegoats, brokenness, and idols, which are all important points that need to be talked about. Yet, for some reason, I want to stay in that empty room in the temple.
