Mark 15:39Surely this man was the Son of God.

We are familiar with the accounts in the four gospels about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Each had recorded in detail the series of events that took place. The exclamation of the Centurion when he saw the sky darkened and the thunder and lightning, he said ‘surely this man was the Son of God.’

Never has there been such natural phenomenon that has happened at the time of death of any man before. It was indeed a frightening time for those who were present as they realized that the events were supernatural. There was no other explanation except what the Centurion declared.

In recent times, God had also manifested His power and glory in the nation of Israel. When Israel came under the attacks of the radical terrorists when thousands of rockets were fired into Israel, miraculously those rockets which were aimed at populated were diverted to open spaces where they would be harmless. Other rockets which were aimed straight into the city were diverted in the sea and again without causing any damage to lives and properties.

There are also reports that God had also send columns of dark clouds to obstruct the view of the terrorists just like when the column of cloud protected the Jews from Pharaoh’s army during the time of the Exodus.

What we know is that our God is the God over the forces of nature as He created all nature and all things in the universe. Our God is still keeping an eye over His people; He is still protecting us and blessing us on a daily basis. This is the time that we need to focus upon Him and walk a close walk with Jesus.
