Jesus performed the greatest act of generosity of all time, motivated by love, some 2,000 years ago today: He died on the cross for our sins, and not ours alone, but the sins of the whole world. Study this Masaccio entitled, “Crucifixion.” What’s your response to the crucifixion?
When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!” Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons. Matthew 27:54-56
