Mark 15: 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,[c] he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
Jesus is crucified. Pilate saw through the plotting of the leafers, but he was weak in the face of the crowds. The people and the leaders mocked him as he suffered. Prophecy was fulfilled in many forms. In the end, Jesus died, but it's not the end after all. The competition's realization is the beginning of Christianity in some way.
I have read all my past posts from this date. Each time I have focused on one of the other players, never on Jesus. It's hard to think of all he endured for us. What was it that the centurion saw? Was it the signs of nature? Was it something in his face or voice? The certainty appeals to me. To never doubt, to know for sure....well, it's not how faith works these days.
