Both cries were uttered with a loud voice, the one of bitterest anguish, the other of holiest triumph. As these triumphant words rang out, the veil of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom, rent by the hand of God Himself, the Divine testimony to the completeness of the work of atonement.
Our Lord was buried. On the third day He rose triumphant from the grave. We read, "Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father." (Rom. 6:44Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4)).
Here is fullest testimony to God's complete satisfaction in the atoning sacrifice of our Lord, and if it satisfied Him, surely its testimony, received into our hearts, should satisfy us.
