So Many God Stories in Matthew 27
I love stories about God’s intervention in people’s lives, whether dramatic or simple.
I imagine we’ll hear some wonderful stories in heaven.
For example:
1. Did Pilate’s wife, who had a dream about Christ’s innocence, later give her life to Him? Matthew 27:19
2. How many who yelled “Crucify Him! His blood is on us and on our children!” later were saved by that precious blood? Matthew 27:25
3. How many soldiers who fell to their knees mocking Jesus later fell to their knees proclaiming Him Savior? Matthew 27:29
4. How many who beat and crucified Christ later were healed by His stripes and forgiven by His crucifixion? Verse 54 gives a hint.
5. Barabbas was pardoned instead of Christ. Did he ever accept Christ's eternal pardon? Matthew 27:16-26
6. Simon of Cyrene took up Christ’s cross and followed Him on the road to Golgotha. Did he ever take up his cross and follow Christ spiritually? Matthew 27:32
A single day in history, a single chapter in Scripture, and so many God stories that will one day thrill our hearts.

Simon of Cyrene almost certainly became a Christian. Paul mentions his son Rufus and Rufus'e mother as a mother to him. I think it is in Romans.
