Jesus' death
Unlike the application of religious leaders and one of the robbers, Jesus will not descend from the cross, but he died there. The signs demanded by opponents and mockers will not be accomplished. However, far from it, God the Father will not let His Son dying and expiate the sins of the world unbranded visible evidence of His identification with His people. As the Father was present in a visible and audible on the coming of the Son in His public ministry: Luke 3.21 to 22, it is also when it was released. Instead and in place of a dove and a voice audible, Luke tells us about two supernatural events marking the moments that followed saw the agony of the death of Jesus, Son of God:
1. An eclipse of the sun lasting for three hours across the country (or land). That night when God plunged the world into daylight speaks of the darkest hours of history of Humanity: Luke 22.53. It was the year in which the soul of the Son, in constant communion with the Father, was because of sin, separated from him and overwhelmed by death and darkness. Nothing better captures the loneliness felt that the Son of God at that moment that the cry which tore the immensity of his distress: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? "Mat 27.46. Death in the soul of Jesus, the darkness that covered the Earth are also the testimony of the Father and the mourning of all creation to the death of the Son.
2. The second fact is the direct consequence of the first. The Son of God who bore our sins, nothing now does bar access to the sinner holy presence of God and bright: cf Heb 10.19 to 22, God demonstrated by the fact that even as Son expires and darkness covers the earth, the veil in the temple that separated the Holy Place of the Most Holy Place was torn in the middle. That opponents of Jesus to know now: It was indeed the Messiah of God, the one by which forgiveness and reconciliation are possible with Him!
The effects of the perfect work of redemption accomplished by Christ are soon to be felt. The Roman centurion, who led Jesus to the torture and asssité the events surrounding His death will be the first to say: this man was not guilty, he was right. According to Matthew, his confession will go even further. "Certainly," he says, this man is the Son of God! : Matthew 27.54 . "The crowd was in limbo is no longer. She left, striking the chest. She knows it too: religious leaders have been mistaken. It is not performance that she had attended, but a crime, and the greatest of all: the murder of the Son of God!
