Mark: 15. 39 “And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.”
Many people who don’t believe in Jesus always want to see signs or be given more reasons why they should believe.
The truth is, there are sufficient reasons available to us to believe, but people just make up their minds not to believe.
From the above Bible passage, we see that a lot happened summing up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ: fear, jealousy, accusations, malice, envy, eclipse, earthquake, renting of temple inner curtain/veil, etc. There were people who saw all these yet chose to mock the Lord rather than believe in Him.

The situation is the same today. People keep looking at all the evidences around us yet are not convinced.
In spite of the popular opinion then, a Roman centurion chose to believe, seeing the same things that all the others saw.
What more evidence are you looking for before you’ll humble yourself in Him? Why not be like the centurion and just believe? The evidences are all over.
