“What a Scene”
“Certainly this was a righteous man” (Luke 23:47). No doubt this centurion had witnessed the execution and death of many men. No doubt he had heard the cries of many proclaiming their innocence. This man, Jesus, was very different though. The centurion proclaimed His righteousness and used the word “Certainly.” Perhaps an innocent man or two had died under his watch but never a righteous man! There’s only One Who is righteous, and He shed His blood and died for us. What a scene. www.michaelpeck.org
