I am amazed when God works. He can take the most unlikely situation or person and turn a miracle. I am thinking of the guards around the cross. It had to be tough duty and not a high honor to be on that kind of detail. Yet, in the midst of all the pain and suffering, of all the blood and wailing and depression, something wonderful happens: God opens eyes. The events are so supernatural that the guards are stunned into a new reality.
“Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” ” Matthew 27:54
God at work. Wow, what a thing to behold!
Lives and events are transformed on God’s terms. I cannot fathom how close God was on that dark hill with events so profound that they surrounded the most important event in all of history.
He lives and He loves.
