TEXT: Mark 15:33-39 (KJV)
33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Winston Churchill once paid a heartfelt tribute to the brave veterans of the Royal Air Force who stood guard over England during World War II, famously stating, “Never in the history of mankind have so many owed so much to so few.” There’s also a monument honouring the heroism of the US 101st Airborne Division, who fought valiantly in The Battle of Bastogne, one of the bloodiest confrontations of the same World War. It reads: “Seldom has so much American blood been shed in the course of a single action. Oh, Lord, help us to remember!” Yet, when we gaze upon the Cross of Christ, we can genuinely say: “Never in the history of the universe has mankind owed so much to One. Oh, Lord, help us to remember.”

The crucifixion of Jesus carries immense significance. As He was nailed to the cross, supernatural darkness enveloped the land for three hours, symbolising God’s judgment on sin and the deep anguish of the Saviour. In that moment, as Jesus bore the weight of humanity’s sins,He felt an unbearable spiritual separation and cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” This profound anguish underscores the serious consequences of humanity’s sin and the staggering cost of our redemption. When Jesus breathed His last, the temple curtain,which separated the holy of holies from the rest of the temple, tore from top to bottom. This powerful act signified the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, showing that we now have direct access to the Father through Jesus Christ. We no longer need human mediators; Jesus has paved the way for us to approach God confidently.

A Roman centurion who played a role in Christ’s crucifixion and was typically cruel and indifferent to spiritual matters was deeply moved by Jesus’ extraordinary death. He declared, “Truly this man was the Son of God.” His testimony reveals that Christ’s sacrifice offers salvation to everyone, regardless of race, tribe, or nation. Sadly, the religious leaders nearby misinterpreted Jesus’ cry and failed to grasp the significance of His sacrifice. Even though they witnessed these events, they couldn’t see God’s salvation right before them.
The Cross stands as the ultimate demonstration of God’s love for man. He gave His only Begotten Son for our redemption. This ultimate sacrifice demands our gratitude and that we confidently draw near to God, since we now have access to Him. It also compels us to share the message of the Cross, proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and His salvation is available to all.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The cross is an eternal reminder of God’s unparalleled love for humanity
