He was a Roman, stationed in Palestine to subject the Jews to the Emperor's rule. He was a man of war.

At one time, we were all like the centurion who experienced three hours of darkness (Luke 23:44), a time that was black as night. Before Jesus saved us, we lived in the darkness.

Feb 9, 2000 · The centurion, a powerful but above all an obedient man, was able to see in Jesus all his divine power, but also all his profound obedience to the Father as the Son of God.
The mercy of Jesus toward the people who rejected Him and the soldiers that crucified Him, including this centurion. His response? “Father, forgive them!” (luke 23:34).
