The time of His death, like everything else about the Christ, was no coincidence - the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world.
It was exactly this time when the Passover lamb was sacrificed in the Temple.
I have already pointed out on this Blog that something dramatic had happened at precisely this point which verifies and vindicates Gospel accounts - the simply gigantic , four inch thick, Temple Curtain was torn into two.
If such a tremendous happening and stunning public event had NOT occurred, the Gospel accounts would have been shown up instantly to any who had been in Jerusalem at the time, as a mere fabrication.
The Gospel writers were happy to proclaim this fact. Ergo, it happened.
Historical proofs, though most convincing, are not a patch on that personal experience.
