Responding to the Crucifixion of Jesus

   "When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
     When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
     Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs.56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons." Mathew 27:50-56

"When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away." Luke 23:48

How did the Centurion and other Romans soldiers respond to the death of Jesus?

How did the women respond to the death of Jesus?

How did the crowds respond to the death of Jesus?

How did the disciples respond to the death of Jesus?

How do you respond to the death of Jesus?

How do your family and friends respond to the death of Jesus?

Humbly in awe of the messy, illegal, false accusations and bloody crucifixion,
