51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. 54 When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27)
At Christ's death the whole world seemed to cry: "Can I get a witness?! Will anyone, will anything testify to Who this Man was?" The curtain, the earth, the tombs, and even dead bodies carried out their responsibilities, as did those who were entrusted to verify that the crucified were dead. They all did their part and did it well. May we join in the chorus, both in proclaiming that Chrsit is the Son of God, and whatever He may call on us to do or say today.
