The Death

It was an evil time. The hearts of men had grown numb to the common sight of the accused been led through the streets of Jerusalem to their deaths. But this was an extraordinary day.
A deafening hush fell over the marketplace, women reached for their children and all eyes stared upward. the sun grew dark at midday then a silence was broken by the cry of the convicted Galilean, Father why Thou hast forsaken Me ?
And breathing His last He gave up what no man could take from Him, Father, in Thy hands I commit My Spirit.
A centurion, who viewed the scene as he had countless others, knew there was something different about this day.
He tearfully came to the same conclusion that pierced the hearts of men and women for two thousand years,
Surely this was the Son of God.
Mt.27:45-54.
