Because He Lives

Narrations Villager from Bethany As a villager from Bethany, I had celebrated many Passovers with my family. But there was something different about this year. The Nazarene was coming...He who was called Jesus. It had been noised about that He was a great teacher; that He healed the sick and even raised the dead. But more than this, His followers whispered that He was the Holy One we have been waiting for. Cout it be so? As I stood outside my house with friends, questioning these very things, two men approached. Instead of greeting us, they proceeded to unleash my newest colt which stood next to its mother--and then to lead it away! I was amazed! Quickly, I hurried to them calling out, "Stop! Why are you doing this?" One turned toward me and said simply, "My Lord has need of him." I stood frozen in my steps and then heard myself saying, "Yes, of course. Go in peace." I sat for many long moments staring down the empty path, wondering. (pause, music starts) I heard it softly at first--the voices of people coming over the hill drawing closer. They were excited, yes. But it was more than that. They were jubilant, cheering joyously and casting palm branches, foliage and even their own clothing like a carpet on the ground! I shall never forget the majesty of that moment as the man called Jesus rounded the corner, surrounded by great multitudes of people honoring him as King of the Jews--riding on my colt.

Hosanna!
John the Beloved They were praising Him in the streets, shouting hosannas as He entered the city. How could I have known that by the end of the week, all would change. On the night of Passover, He took our little group to an upper room. While we were there, He spoke to us of love, calling it a new commandment. He lifted love to the highest level, and then stooped as a lowly servant to wash the dust from our feet. He taught that love comes wrapped in obedience, and that a man could have no greater love than to lay down his life for a friend. I did not realize...at that moment He was preparing to lay down His own life, not just for
1

one friend, but for all of humanity. Truly, His love for us ran deeper than I could imagine. Was it possible for me to learn to love others with that same intensity? The thought was staggering. After supper, we went to a garden on the Mount of Olives, a favorite spot of the Master's. He asked if I would wait for Him with Peter and James, while He prayed. Of course I would wait for Him. How I loved Him! And how honored to be called by Him John the Beloved. As I watched Him walk slowly down the path to His private place of prayer, my heart did indeed fill with love, and I felt in small measure that peace of which He had spoken. (pause) The hour was late and the food of the evening lay heavy upon me. I would wait for Him, yes, but perhaps it would not matter if I rested my eyes for just a moment. (music starts) Little did I know that as I slept, my Savior would offer the greatest sacrifice the world has ever known...out of love.

Gethsemane
Peter Betrayed with a kiss. What perverted thinking had chosen this symbol of love for such a vile purpose? Earlier, the Lord insisted that I, Peter, would also deny Him. Impossible! I would defend him with my life. And yet, this all happened so quickly that it was over before I knew what to do. I watched, crouching behind the tree as the Temple Guard led the Lord away in chains. How could this be? There was never a man born who was more kind, honest and wise. Indeed, I worshipped at His feet. And yet, His life was in danger in the hands of "holy" men whose job it was to protect us from evil. Yes, my Master needed me, and I knew I must find Him and help Him. Would He not do the same for me if I were in trouble? Quickly, I hurried down the path within the sound, but not the sight, of that small army of infidels. If I had stopped to think of the danger that lurked ahead within the Palace of the High Priest, I might not have gone on. Surely, any disciple of Jesus would be unsafe in the den of His enemies. But I did not stop to think. All I knew was that the Master was in danger. How could I leave Him alone? I had followed Him since the day I first heard His voice along the shores of the Sea of Galilee. I would follow Him now.

Ill Follow
Pilate

The day began normally enough for a governor of Rome. But before I had a chance for breakfast, I was urgently summoned to the Judgment Hall. There in the courtyard, I was greeted by a most unusual gathering--the chief priests and elders of the Jewish hierarchy. They were in angry discussion, shouting accusations against one who claimed to be a king. And who was the object of their taunts and jeers?...a lone man who seemed meek and gentle. When I asked this man if He indeed claimed kingship, He said simply, "Thou sayest." I could find no fault in Him, but those self-righteous Pharisees were insistent that He was guilty of sedition. Now, Rome does not countenance any king save Caesar, but this man was no threat to Caesar, and I did not want to give my blessing to their petty jealousies. Even so, I needed their support. And when they threatened to stir up trouble with Caesar, I knew I was trapped. Though I interviewed this man again and again, each time I became more convinced of His innocence. Even my wife begged me to have nothing to do with Him. I tried to take the matter to the people, but the crowds at the palace that morning were wild and stood firmly behind Caiaphas and his faithless collection of vipers. Vengeance was in their hearts and they would not be pacified. "Crucify Him!" they shouted. "Crucify Him! He claims to be the son of God!" The Son of God? Of course, that could not be...But there was something about the way this man spoke to me that... Well, it is none of my affair now. I washed my hands of the whole thing. There is no guilt on my part. And I believe there is no guilt in this man either. The guilt...lies wrapped around the souls of those standing in the palace courtyard.

Crucify Him!
Simon of Cyrene The streets of Jerusalem were busy as I entered them. It had been a long journey for me, Simon of Cyrene, and I was glad to finally arrive. At first, I did not notice the rowdy procession coming down the main street...just another criminal doomed for Golgotha. But there was something that caught my attention, and I moved closer to look. "Who is this man?" I muttered more to myself than anyone else. I had hardly noticed the woman next to me--a commoner in deep mourning. But her voice answered my question, broken with emotion. "He is Jesus of Galilee, the promised Messiah." No. How could that be? Surely, the King of the Jews would not be dragged

down a street wearing a crown of thorns upon a broken and beaten body. And yet...his eyes... "You! There!" Before I could answer, the Roman soldiers grabbed me and led me to the side of the prisoner, taking the burden of the cross from His shoulders and placing it upon mine. (music begins) The weight was staggering, but somehow, there was power in the air, and as I moved slowly toward the hill of the skull, I felt honored to walk beside this man. Could the old woman be right? If He was indeed the Messiah, these people were making a terrible, tragic mistake.

Crucify Him (Reprise)

Centurion Darkness...It was the darkness that made me notice; a deep, oppressive darkness that settled over the entire land. Something was different here. As a centurion, I tended to many crucifixions, and I had grown calloused to pain and suffering. But it wasn't the anguish of this victim that gripped me, though that was indeed present, it was the peace, the control, and above all, the love. It made this seeming tragedy an event of "worship". As the darkness descended, He looked down upon my men, trained in brutality, the source of His agony, and then asked His father to forgive them. Stunned, I looked about for His father, doubtless someone of great power with a capacity to forgive such barbaric action, but I saw no one. I did see His mother, as did He, weeping at His feet. In total tenderness, He asked a friend to care for her and take her as his own. Then He comforted the poor thieves who were hanging next to Him and promised to meet them in paradise. There was no self-serving pity here, only concern for others. Who was this man? The sign above His head proclaimed, "King of the Jews". It was strange. If He was their king, why were they killing Him? From the depths of this scene mixed so oddly with hope and despair, there came a loud cry, an awful cry, "My God, my God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" Some of my men thought He called for Elias the prophet, and offered Him vinegar to drink, but not I. I came closer to look at this man who knew God so well. As I drew near, He uttered his final words. "It is finished. Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." There it was again. Father. Could it be...dare I think it? But my thoughts were interrupted by a storm's dark rumble which suddenly grew louder and more violent. I was scarcely able to stand, for the ground

heaved and groaned beneath me. The earth itself seemed to be in terrible mourning over the death of this man. A mortal man? (music begins) No. A new thought swelled in my heart, bringing tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. I looked again into the face of the one on the cross. "Truly, this was the Son of God!"

Calvary (Reprise)
Mary Magdalene I felt so helpless, watching Him die. There was nothing I could do for my Lord, only fill the air with my wails of sorrow. But now I waited impatiently for the Sabbath to end and the morning to come when I could perform one final act of loving service--that of anointing His body for burial. It was very early when the other Mary and I left for the sepulchre. (music begins) Traces of darkness still lingered, but there was promise in the air and we were anxious for the task ahead. Arriving at the tomb, we were startled and frightened by what we saw.

He Was Not There

Mary Magdalene The angel told me to tell the disciples that He was not there. I ran faster than I knew was possible, and my thoughts seemed to move as quickly as my feet. Why was He gone? And what did the angel mean when he said, "He is risen?" I doubted the other disciples would believe what I was about to tell them. Most did not, except for Peter and John. Those two did not stop to think, but hurried back to the tomb to see for themselves. I followed them, not knowing what else to do. As I stood outside the sepulchre, tears welled up in my eyes. I thought of my great friend and teacher. Why would anyone have taken His body away? As I wept, a man came near and asked why I was crying. I assumed Him to be the gardener, and plead with Him to help me find the body of my Lord. He spoke only one word to me. "Mary." (music begins) It was my beloved Master! How had I not recognized that voice before? The joy which suddenly filled my soul was as exquisite as had been the pain. He had indeed risen again, just as the angel said. Surely, this was the most glorious morning of my life; no, more than that, the most glorious morning the world has ever known.
