I am in Day 25 of One On One: Days with Jesus--Passion.
It is an incredible reminder of the Centurion Soldier's perspective of the crucifixion of Christ. It is easy to read over what this soldier experienced. He watched. He heard. He saw.
He watched how they mocked Jesus with a sign "The King of the Jews"
He heard them yelling insults and ridiculing Him.
He saw saw the other two who didn't get as much "attention as Jesus did.
I wonder what questions he pondered. Isn't this man a rabbi? Why did they excuse Barabbas? All of these soldiers were here to escort this teacher? What are they mocking Him as a king?
Then Jesus screamed before His last breath "tetelestai!" as claim of victory! IT IS FINISHED!
,,,the Centurion plunged the spear in His side. ...and the earth shook!
I can say without any reservation that this moment got everyone's attention. Jesus is the Messiah. He is the Messiah now and always will be. No matter what the uncertainty or instability. He is the deliverer, He is the Savior, He is the Anointed One.
