Luke 23:47
The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, "Surely this was a righteous man."
The Roman centurion never knew Jesus, all he witness was how He suffered and died. But that was enough for him to declare that He was a righteous man. That really says a lot of our Saviour.
People often say that genuineness and character are unveiled in misfortune. When crisis hits us and we are crushed in spirit, how many of us can look upwards towards God and still live in obedience? How many of us can live in the turbulence that life brings us and reflect a sober, kind countenance that would make those around acknowledge that God is present in our lives?
