·32 min·3 clips

Darkness covers Golgotha for hours as Jesus dies, and a Roman centurion confesses, 'Truly this was the Son of God.'

The episode is a sermon by Pastor Hilquias Benício based on Luke 23:33, presented as a first-person narrative from the viewpoint of someone in Jerusalem during the Passion week. It begins with a vivid description of Jerusalem's streets on the day of the crucifixion, where an old man recounts the arrest of Jesus and the unjust proceedings involving false witnesses. The narrator observes tension in the city, bloodstains from the praetorium, and follows the path to Golgotha. At the crucifixion site, three crosses are raised, with Jesus in the middle, and darkness falls for hours, accompanied by an earthquake. A centurion declares Jesus the Son of God. The narrator reflects on Jesus as the Lamb of God, drawing parallels to the Passover lamb from Exodus, and experiences a personal revelation of salvation. After Jesus' death, the narrator stays in Jerusalem, witnessing the empty tomb and the resurrection on Sunday. The sermon shifts to a direct address, explaining that the cross was not the end because Jesus is alive. It concludes with an altar call, inviting listeners to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, followed by prayers for those who respond. The format blends narrative storytelling with theological teaching and evangelistic appeal, recurring themes include sin, forgiveness, and new life through Christ's sacrifice.
