This Actually Happened: Supernatural Events At The Cross (6 Lessons)

Imagine standing at the foot of the cross. You can hear the cries of onlookers, the groaning of the suffering, the clash of divine love and human rebellion. The sky, once clear, begins to grow unnaturally dark. At the moment Jesus breathes His last, the earth beneath your feet trembles. The veil in the temple—thick, heavy, and sacred—is torn from top to bottom. Tombs split open. A few days later, the bodies in those tombs arise. A stone is rolled away. And a burial shroud and neatly folded face cloth are found inside an empty tomb.

It feels like the entire created order is reacting—mourning, testifying, and declaring something profound. Something eternal. Something supernatural.

And it is.

These events surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus are not symbolic stories or dramatized myths. They actually happened. Real darkness. Real earthquakes. Real torn veils and opened graves. And each of these miraculous signs carries deep theological meaning—pointing us to the unmatched power of the cross and the victory of the resurrection.

This study series invites you to revisit the moments that surrounded Jesus’ final breath and victorious resurrection—not just as a historical account, but as the living, breathing truth that shapes our faith today. In each lesson, we’ll explore six supernatural events: The Darkness, The Veil, The Earthquake, The Tombs, The Stone, and The Shroud. We will examine what happened, what it meant to those who witnessed it, and what it continues to mean for believers today.

This is not just a study about what Jesus said. It’s about what God showed.

This is not poetry. This is power.

This is not mythology. This actually happened—and it changes everything.

Let your heart and faith be stirred as we journey through the signs and wonders that thundered around the cross—and still echo in our souls today.
