The Sixth Hour



As it turned three o' clock, the thick blanket of dark almost-black clouds enveloped the sky. One of my six-year old schoolmates asked my supervisor," Is it night time?". "No, it's only 3 o'clock" came the reply. It was a sight, alright !!


Shaun rushed to the window, with eyes wide open in disbelief that the sky could ever be so dark. It was indeed the one of the darkest DAYS I've seen in a long time. But yet, even in times like these we can transport back to another time where the sky was pitch dark at 3 o'clock. Can you remember ?


Yup, just as Jesus breathed his last breath and cried out a triumphant,"It is finished !!" - the earth was covered or rather the sun was covered and the earth was dark. The Bible describe the time of this event that it happened on the "sixth hour" - scientifically in modern-time, 3 o'clock.

Amazing!!
