Earthquake

Matthew 27: 45-54

Yesterday there was an earthquake in Southern California. Even though our son lives in Northern California I still contacted him to make sure that he was alright. "Earthquake" is one of those words which usually invokes an emotional response and emotion is usually fear or horror. Fear for safety or horror at the results of the earthquake.
There was an earthquake whilst Jesus was on the cross.
What do I do when I am afraid? Panic and pray.
The reactions of the bystanders on The First Good Friday was no different. Even the hardened Roman centurion saw God in Jesus. And he was at work, just doing his job.
