Evidence of the Crucifixion
| Bro Melusi Ndlovu (Gweru, Zimbabwe)
I
n the closing events of the crucifixion day,
fresh evidence was given of the fulfilment
of prophecy. When the darkness had lifted
from the cross, and the Saviour’s dying cry had
been uttered, immediately another voice was
heard, saying, “Truly this was the Son of
God.” (Luke 23:7). The words were said in no
whispered tones – who has spoken? It was the
Centurion, the Roman soldier. In the bruised,
broken body hanging upon the cross, the Cen-
turion recognised the form of the Son of God.
At his birth, the star had known Him. The
heavenly hosts had known Him. The sea had
known his voice, and had obeyed His com-
mand. Disease and death had recognised His
authority. The sun had known Him, and at the
sound of His dying anguish, had hidden its face
and light. The rocks had known Him – they had
heard the cry “It is finished. Father, into Thy
hands I commend my spirit.” They had seen
the rocks rent and had felt the mighty earth-
quake.

O
ne of the many courses at the Bible
Education Centre, is a ‘Cake Baking
Class’. Cake making requires one to select
the right ingredients, blend and mix them
together to get a nice cake and also to care-
fully decorate them, all requiring some skill.
In a way the Truth is a bit like that, we need
a balanced mixture of different doctrines
and practices that then blend together, so
that we have the whole Truth... but that’s
not enough. We need to decorate... by
showing in our lives that we really believe
and practice the principles of the Truth,
adorning ourselves to make us attractive to
God and others who come into contact with
us, so that they too may taste and see that
the Lord is good. (1 Peter 2:3; ch 3:3-4).
Sis Yvonne Dube of the Walton Ecclesia UK,
who is a qualified cook, sometimes goes
to South Africa to run this course of train-
ing, and, apart from benefits of becoming
trained cooks, may also help some to get
jobs.

work and Sis Yvonne (second left) congratu-
lating them in their success.
