From the perspective of the Centurion, John and Mary
 
This was the biggest event in history and only a few people would witness it.  What did Mary feel watching her son die in agony?  How did His beloved disciple John cope seeing all their dreams come to an end?  How about the Roman centurion who had seen many die—why was this different? We invite you to join us as we reflect upon the Cross as Easter approaches with this excellent teaching from Jill Gower, all in an atmosphere of prophetic worship.
