Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, anoth … More
Between the sixth hour (noon) and the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.) darkness came over the whole land (v. 33). At the end of the supernatural darkness Jesus cried out, “My God! My God! Why have you forsaken Me” (v. 34)? Some of the people standing there heard Jesus and said “He is calling for Elijah” (v. 35). Up to this moment Jesus had never gone through the experience of being separated from the Father, but in order to be completely identified with our humanity He had to go through it.
A soldier offered Jesus a sponge saturated with a mixture of vinegar and water (v. 36). The centurion who stood nearby goes on to identify Jesus as truly, “the Son of God” (v. 39). Following this Jesus “gave up the ghost,” (v. 37), which literally means He “breathed out His life” or died. At this point “the veil of the temple” (v. 38) which separated the Holy of Holies (into which no man was permitted to go) from the rest of the temple ripped from top to bottom. This symbolized the fact that the way was now open for all believers to enter into the very presence of God at any time. Some women who had come with Jesus to Jerusalem were looking on from a distance (vv. 40-41).
Application
When I realized that Jesus actually became a sacrifice for my sins I accepted Him as my personal Savior? Now the question is How can I more effectively communicate the good news of Jesus’ death.
