Tell me a story. With
heavy
eyes, the boy
grew more quiet with each breath. I’ll tell you a
real story, the
Easter story
about a man who was
tortured and beaten,
even
spit upon and
treated like the
lowest of criminals. Is this a scary story, the child asked. No, quite the
opposite. This is a reassuring,
valiant story of the greatest love…
eventually you’ll understand.
Oh, he said, what happened next? The
Father was
accused of crimes, crowned with thorns and nailed to a wooden cross. He sacrificed
life to save the
lives of His children. The boy slept.
