Today I was to be crucified along with the two others in my cell. Everyone in this Roman world knew it would be a long and painful way to die. It was meant to be. The man who never moved began to stir, slowly began to awake. It was him the guards waited for. Now we would begin our walk, our last walk to the hill that overlooked the city. I was afraid
Nails pierced my hands, my feet, I lost control of my bowels, water ran down my legs mixed with my own blood. I shook violently but still looked at the one next to me sharing the same torture I did. No cursing came from his lips unlike the other one, he still yelled and mocked those who were below. I had a strange peace even in my pain. The man, who now looked at me calmed every fear, took away everything and for that moment I was at rest. I expected judgement, torment and instead was told today.....
I would be in paradise....me a man who had robbed and cheated his way through life............
