Jesus came to earth with a burst of light in the dead of night; he died under the cover of darkness at high noon. The only thing more impossible to ignore than Jesus' life was his death—accompanied by signs in the heavens, a loud cry from the cross, and the response of eye witnesses of every kind. Luke 23:44–49 recounts the story of the death of Christ, the hours before and its aftermath. Don't miss what Christ did on the cross.
