    Matt. 27:54, Mark 15:39, and Luke 23:47 This morning, we want to take these three verses and try to look through the eyes of a hardened man. The centurion was a man who was dedicated to the Roman army. He was the highest ranking soldier that a non commissioned officer could achieve, and as ...read more
