“And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!””

All,

This stands out because the centurion says, “Truly this was the Son of God!” These would have to be some of the same guards who mocked him and put thorns on His head. The good news is that Jesus died for them also. We’ve seen Judas pay the ultimate price for not accepting forgiveness and we will see Peter leading the church because He did accept forgiveness. All this is possible because Jesus died on the cross. Please pray that we and our friends are thankful for Jesus today. Please pray for Danelle.
