S-Luke23:43-47 NIV
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45 for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the templewas torn in two. 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[e] When he had said this, he breathed his last.
47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”
O- At the moment on the cross where Jesus would yield his spirit to God the father. A darkness came over the land when all of the sins of man were heaped on Jesus on the cross. The curtain in the temple which separated man from the holy of holy's was torn in two and thus the separation of man from God was no longer. Then Jesus having taken on the sins of the world committed his spirit to God and atoned once and for all the sins of mankind. The centurion who was not even a Jew, saw the righteousness of Christ and gave testimony to what God had done through Christ.
A - The application for me is to acknowledge that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. He took on my sin on the cross and shed his blood so that I could be redeemed and restored in relationship with God the father. I am to be like the centurion when confronted with the truth of who Jesus is, I give praise to God.
P - Dear heavenly Father thank you for today's lesson may it be sealed to my heart. I give you all the praise and honor Lord for what you have done through your son's obedience on the cross. Thank you God for the gift of my salvation. I pray this in Jesus Christ name, Amen.
