And they said unto him… for he said, I am the Son of what? {God.}These were the scribes, the elders, the high priests, the rest of them. Again, they knew he was not God, they knew he was what? {The Son of God.} They didn’t believe it, but that’s what he had said he was – he was the Son of God. Had he ever said he was God, oh, my goodness. Oh, that’s so far out you’d have to be stupid to even think about it.

And the climax of that whole thing, there was one man there. There was a man there who had to be there because of his position with the army, and he was nobody’s fool. He was a centurion. A man who was the head of a hundred topnotch men. And he was a Roman. The Romans didn’t believe in the true God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was his job to see that the execution was accomplished. And this centurion stood there while they were crucifying the Lord Jesus Christ, and he stayed around – until verse 54 has this fantastic truth.

[Matthew 27:54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, [the other soldiers] watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of [what?] God.

Boy, oh boy. What a record. They did not for one minute say God, because had it been God then God would have died on the cross. God did not die, but it was His wonderful Son. And that centurion, class, had to have a… Boy, he had to get hit right between the eyeballs with a ball bat almost to see that. That centurion.

Now, if Peter would have said that, it wouldn’t have been so fantastic. But for that centurion – and for that centurion, class, to say what he said, that took a lot more guts than for any of you, to say that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and not God. And some of you haven’t had the audacity to even believe it yourself. You ought to be a centurion. Maybe you’d get around to it, huh? That’s right.

The centurion man said, truly, truly he was, this was the Son of what? God. What a fantastic thing.

Yesterday I couldn’t be at the [inaudible 00:10:25] meeting of the State of Florida. As you know, I was in Kansas. But boy, my heart goes out to our believers in Florida. So this international or someone had arranged for my calling Florida and speak to the people publicly like I’m speaking to you, only on telephone. And I taught them for about a half hour by telephone. And I took them through the same scripture and showed them that greatness of that centurion.

Boy, you see you can read that Word and it never hits you sometimes, until somebody shows it to you. That centurion, for he to say that this was truly the Son of God, boy oh boy, what a stand he took.

Three days later, God raised him. And that’s where the 28th chapter becomes so dynamically real.

After the Sabbath… In the end of the end of text reads,

[Matthew 28:1 & 2] ...[after] the sabbath, [after the weekly Sabbath] as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the [what?] sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake:

One of the oldest texts reads, ‘for there had been a great earthquake’. So we have a couple of them. One back there that sort of affected the centurion, and another one that affected the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

[Matthew 28:2] ...for the angel of the Lord [the angel of the Lord] descended from heaven, and [he] came and [came and] rolled back the stone from the door, and [he] sat upon it.

Isn't that something? A big stone wore him out so he had to sit down and rest. No. The stone was never in front of the door like this, the stone was on top of the opening. The sepulcher was covered with the stone.

And this record reads in the original exactly like in the English, only sometimes it’s difficult for you to understand what it says in English. And that is, this angel of the Lord came down, and… Here’s the sepulcher, here’s the stone.
