What does it mean to you to think about the veil of the Tabernacle being torn on the day of Jesus’ crucifixion?

There is an interesting contrast between the details of the Old Covenant Tabernacle and the details of the crucifixion of Jesus and the New Covenant. In the Old Covenant, the construction of the Tabernacle indicated that God wanted to dwell among his people. In the New Covenant, the tearing of the veil indicated that God was breaking out of the Tabernacle in order to dwell among his people. What does it mean to you that God is so focused on dwelling with people?

The reading for the day is Exodus 26.
