Have You Ever Wondered?

Have you ever wondered what happened the second after Christ died on the cross? What the people around the cross was going through seeing their son, friend and teacher hanging lifeless?

Have you thought about the trek to Joseph’s tomb as they were carrying his bloody body? Seeing the painful wounds all over his tattered body.

Have you considered the agony of them laying him behind the stone and walking away knowing he had previously caused the dead the rise from a similar tomb?

Can you imagine the black, stormy sky pouring buckets of rain as they each walked to their homes as the rain water mixed with their tears?

What about the people to afraid to come to the cross? How were they feeling? Did they feel like traitors for abandoning their friend? Where were they hiding?

What were the people who didn’t believe Jesus was anything special thinking? Were they afraid of an uprising or were they gleeful in his death?

Have you wondered what Barabbas was feeling? He could have been the one on the cross. Was he wanting to make a change or was more sadistic plans in his future?

Have you wondered if anger was brewing to get retaliation?

Or was fear escalating to sink further into the shadows?

Was there any hope when the world woke up the next morning? Or was all hope dead because Jesus was?

If you have never thought about these sad days, why not?

Why did the Bible leave out these days in its account?

I sometimes think no one wrote about these days because no one wanted to relive how they were feeling during these hopeless days.

For many years I have wanted to dive into this time period and write a story that could give some type of an account of what happened during these days.

After years of considering these dark days, I finally wrote it.

Next month I will be releasing my latest book which is a fictional account of what happened the moment after Christ died on the cross.

Lent and the Easter season is approaching and I am hoping that this book will cause many people to ask these hard questions. To put themselves in John’s sandals; to imagine sitting beside Mary as she grieves, to follow the steps of the Roman soldier who nailed Christ to the cross.

If you are interested in this book, you can preorder it.

But if you are not a reader, I would still recommend pondering what you think happened during the darkest days the world has ever seen.

He may have died, but we have hope in knowing He didn’t stay dead.

Peace
