Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!” (Matthew 27:50-54, NRSV)
Can you imagine being the one who stood by His cross, pierced His side, and watched Him die?
Can you imagine having no faith in Him, but then understanding everything to be true, and beleiving?
Actually that is what happened to all of us.
Even if we were raised in a home that taught us the faith, we still at some point heard the words spoken, and the promises that were given and we believed, and made a confession, “Truly this man is the Son of God!”
And we were the ones who pierced His side, and hung Him on the cross, yet He still made those promises for us!
So imagine Him loveing you, because He does, and now go and confess Him to the world.
