Lent 2014 day 45 by ric gustafson
Mark 15:39- ' When the centurion , who stood facing Jesus saw how he died, he said " this man was certainly God's Son".
The people had been waiting for a Messiah to rescue them. Jesus the Messiah did come. Angels announced his birth and he healed people. The rulers of Israel thought he was a political nuisance. He was scorned and died a criminal's death.
When Jesus died, the sky became dark and the temple curtain was torn into two. The centurion watched all this and then realized that this man was God's Son.
This was the darkest day in the history of the world.
Jesus, I pray that you will grant me a sinner your mercy and grace.
