Another instance of that "illumination" of the "Great Experience" being conveyed...

The Roman ...the one at the crucifixion who senses it listening to
Jesus there up on the cross forgiving and blessing and proclaims "this man is inncocent"
and is struck in his own heart by this realization of what he is really seeing.

That "experience" conveyed to the Roman , who had no experience before of Jesus "prescence". Well that must have been a very poignant moment for him. This "recognition" by him is what I am trying to convey to you . It is potentially there with all of us to see it .

That must have been an experience for that Roman soldier to remember , to see the God & humanity within himself , up there on the cross , and they were not easily fooled .

But the realization the Roman soldier had at the moment , being a pagan and knowing nothing of "Christianity" , for it was just being born before his eyes then . Well that is something , isn't it ? It was already there within him.

There is something universal in men ...even the hardened are drawn to. Wonder how he spent the rest of his
evening , that Roman? Maybe he bought a farm somewhere and hung up his sword? Maybe not...
