Three Hours of Darkness

What is your reaction when the lights go off? Unexpectedly, darkness enfolds you. It draws your attention, doesn’t it? How would you react when you are outside at noon, and it becomes dark? When the sun is at its highest, it stops shining! “What’s going on?”It happened in Canaan when they crucified Jesus. When people were at their busiest, they suddenly could no longer see what they were doing. Momentarily, everything stopped. Darkness came over the whole land for three hours. “What does it mean?”With Christ’s birth, darkness became light around the shepherds outside Bethlehem. But now on Golgotha, midday light became midday darkness, for three hours. Reading of Scripture: Luke 23:44-49; Matthew 27:45-56Text Verse: Luke 23:44-45Our text verse shows:
