Luke 23:44-56
Jesus doesn't hate, or revile or curse but rather dies in such a way that when He finally breaths His last breath, and the deed is finally done, people realize that something wrong was done here. They go away uneasy and troubled. The centurion realized He was innocent.
Amazingly as Jesus commits His spirit to the Father, the curtain to the Holy of Holies is torn in two. An awesome symbolic gesture that points directly to what Jesus has just done on the cross. He has paid for our sins with the perfect and permanent sacrifice. At this point the world will no longer need to go through another bloody sacrifice or see a hight priest, because Jesus was their bloody sacrifice and is their Great High Priest. Now, to take care of your sin, you go directly to Jesus and the sacrifice He made for you. Jesus died but He isn't lost.
