There Was Darkness: Jesus’ Death and Burial
Weekly Devotional 6.30.2025
“Will not the land tremble for this, and all who live in it mourn?…In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.” Amos 8:8-9
When Jesus was crucified, several cosmic events occurred that underscored the significance of that moment and helped those who witnessed it finally understand who Jesus was. The darkness across the land and the great earthquake not only symbolized God’s righteous anger but also displayed His divine judgment and wrath on sin. These events, along with references to David, the fulfillment of the suffering servant prophecies, the tearing of the temple veil, and the resurrection of the saints, all pointed to one thing: truly, Jesus was the Son of God. When we consider the significance of everything that just happened, as well as the events that would follow in three days and thereafter, one cannot help but make the same profession of faith that Jesus is Lord and seek to affirm, honor, and glorify the crucified Christ.
