DAILY READINGS: Exodus 11 to 12:20; Psalm 44; Acts 5:12-42
And sitting down they watched him there…Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. Matthew 27:36, 54
The centurion and his men probably thought that their job was more or less done. So, they watched. But the day was far from over. They were amazed at the quietness of the Man on the central cross. A few words of conversation with those crucified with Him and one loud cry, “It is finished” were all that was heard. But they also witnessed an earthquake and a darkness thick and heavy at noontime. As with all who watch Him they had only one response, “Truly this was the Son of God.” —Roy Hill
O sweet wonder! O sweet wonder! Jesus the son of God;
How I adore thee! O how I love Thee! Jesus the Son of God. —G. Haywood
