What significance does darkness during the crucifixion have?
Answered in 1 source
The darkness during Christ's crucifixion signals a divine judgment and mystery surrounding His sacrifice.
The three hours of darkness that enveloped the land during Christ's crucifixion (Mark 15:33) signify more than just a natural phenomenon; they represent God's judgment upon sin and the gravity of the moment. Only God could orchestrate such an event, indicating the cosmic weight of sin being placed upon Christ. This darkness can be seen as a veil, illustrating the seriousness of what was transpiring—God was judging sin and reconciling believers to Himself through the sacrifice of His Son. The centurion’s witnessing of this darkness reinforces the recognition of divine intervention and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
