A man named Joseph of Arimathea came to Pilate and requested he bury Jesus in a tomb. Pilate gave him the body and Joseph took it to a tomb that he had built.
The tomb was sealed with a large stone. The hour had come for Jesus's death. He cried out, My Father, why have you forsaken me?The earth shook. Buildings collapsed. The veil in the temple split straight in two. A soldier stared up at the body of Christ and said, This was truly the Son of God.Mother Mary and John the Beloved stood at the foot of the Crucifix, witnessing as their leader and son, respectively, was slowly dying. Jesus looked to them and said, John, here is your mother. And Mother, here is your son.Jesus was to be crucified along with two thieves. One thief was angry, and said, If you are truly the Messiah, then save yourself and save us!But the other thief scolded him, Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation? |
