Let's Go Back to the Bible

“Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

There was a Roman centurion on duty during the crucifixion of Jesus. There is no way to know for sure how much he witnessed, but at the very least, he probably saw a brutally beaten and bleeding man barely make it to the crucifixion site. He saw this man thrown down and savagely nailed to that piece of timber. 2019-05-13-Truly-this-Man-was-the-Son-of-GodHe watched as the crowd jeered Him, blasphemed Him and spit upon Him. He witnessed this man hanging there and enduring it all, without retaliating, but actually calling for their forgiveness and looking out for their good. Finally, he heard this thorn-crowned man cry out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” “So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, ‘Certainly this was a righteous Man!'” (Luke 23:47), and even exclaimed, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39).

The cross of Jesus is “the power of God” (1 Cor. 1:18-25) to open man’s eyes to the Son of God and their desperate need for Him! The centurion had his eyes opened that day! Are you sharing the story of the cross? Everyone needs to see what he saw that day!
