ONE spring afternoon nearly 2,000 years ago, a Romans centurion watched three men die slow, agonizing deaths. That soldier especially noted one of them -Jesus Christ. Jesus had been nailed to a wooden stake. The midday sky blackened as the moment of his death approached. When he died, the earth shook violently, and the soldier exclaimed: "Certainly this man was God's Son." -Mark 15:39.
God's Son! That soldier was right. He had just witnessed the most important event every to occur on the earth. On earlier occasions, God himself had called Jesus his beloved Son. (Matthew 3:17; 17:5) Why had Jehovah allowed his Son to die! Because this was God's means of saving mankind from sin and death.
