Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. Luke 23 - 24 

On the day of Jesus death, the sun was darkened for 3 hours. If you look back in time, you will see the sun was darkened when significant events happened in the bible. It's as if God's anger removed the sunlight from earth. 

This afternoon, thousands and thousands of people will go outside to watch a rare eclipse that will block out the sun for a period of time. If you look around at what's happening in the world, you have to wonder if the end is near. Is Jesus coming back soon to rapture out His children? I believe we are in the end times. Are you ready for eternity? Have you received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? If not, ask Him to forgive you of your sins and receive Him today. 

Jesus took on the sins of mankind and died, then rose again 3 days later...conquering death and sin. As the sun is darkened today, think about what Jesus did to save you and thank Him. Put not your faith in the moon and stars, but in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the redeemer of mankind.
