Matthew 27:45, Mark 15:33, Luke 23:44; "From the 6th hour until the 9th hour darkness came over ALL the land." (12:00 noon to 3:00) The darkness came as Jesus took upon himself the sins of mankind! Millions times billions to the quadrillions of power the sins from Adam and Eve to the last human being He will create! So horrendous a sight that none could look upon Him as He paid the price for our sins!
What made Christ's crucifixion different from the hundreds of others who were crucified? They were also flogged (with a whip), punched, spit upon, and made to carry their own crosses.
This is what made Christ's death on the Cross different: 1. He is GOD in the flesh (John 10:30, "Jesus claimed, 'I and the Father are One.' ") 2. He was sinless, (I Peter 2:22, "He (Jesus) committed NO SIN,,,) (I John 3:5, "...in Him (Jesus) is NO SIN.") 3. "He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins (and) also for the sins of the world." (I John 2:2) "GOD presented Him (Jesus) as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in His Blood." (Romans 3:25)

After effects are so exhilarating! 1. For the lost who come to His (Jesus') salvation! 2. From darkness to Light. 3. From death to eternal life!
What the LORD has in store for us in eternity is far greater than this diamond ring effect of the solar eclipse! "Eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, no mind has conceived what GOD has prepared for those who love Him, but GOD has revealed it to us by His Spirit." (I Corinthians 2:9-10)
