Part XXIV
In the end, Jesus was crucified because he was blaspheming God, because he said (as per allegations from the High priests and from the authorities) he was the Son of God. The centurion was amazed by the things that happened during the crucifixion and death of Jesus, the darkness came on earth, the earth was trembled by earthquake, the dead were risen and he got the real faith that Jesus is the Son of God. 'The centurion, together with the others guarding Jesus, had seen the earthquake and all that was taking place, and they were terrified and said, ‘In truth, this man was the son of God.', Mt 27: 54. Many other onlookers who were persecuting him got faith in Jesus and they declared loudly that Jesus is the Son of God. What Jesus is asking from us is repentance, the conversion and, at last, eternal life. Jesus's ways are not complicated, but they are truth and life.
