I cannot help but wonder what those responsible for our Lord’s death contemplated during this time. They had witnessed a true darkness over the face of the earth THREE HOURS while Jesus hung on that cross (Lk 23:44). They had felt the earth violently shake the moment He gave up His spirit (Matt 21:50-51). Were they fearful? They should have been! I honestly would not like to be them when they face our Lord AND THEY WILL! If you understand Scripture, you will realize that each of us are responsible for His death, for He was dying for our sins. If you do not repent and embrace Him as Savior, you will have to face Him also and explain “why”!
