Devotions: The Earth Shook

Jesus is Crucified

Friday morning Jesus was taken to a hill called “Calvary”.
There he was nailed onto a cross, the cross was stuck into the ground.

At noon darkness fell all over the land and lasted three hours.
At the end of that time, Jesus called, “It is finished,” and died.

The earth shook, rocks shattered and the curtain in the temple was ripped in half by unseen hands.
The Roman soldiers were afraid, and one said,
“I’m sure this man was the Son of God.”

When CT Studd and his wife were in China as missionaries they prayed together about their needs.

They took comfort in the scripture, 'before they call I will answer.'

When the postman came they opened all their mail eagerly without finding an answer to their need. But then there was one letter at the bottom of the sack in an unknown hand.

It read, 'I have for some reason or another received the command of God to send you a cheque for one hundred pounds.
I have never met you. I have only heard of you and that not often but God has prevented me from sleeping tonight by this command.
Why he should command me to send you this I do not know ..... you know better than I.
Anyway here it is and I do hope it will do you good.'
