With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. 

If you’ve ever observed someone at the end of life it’s an experience that stays with you the rest of yours. 

I recall when my mother died, her eyes opened and then closed before her final breath and it left me with more questions than answers. 

The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭15‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Albeit a little late, the centurion’s own acknowledgment was on the money and certainly made a profound impact on his life and on those he shared it with. 

It took witnessing Jesus’ final breath for his belief to materialize, just as it did ours.
