I wrote this Easter story a few years ago to express how I think about Easter. May you be blessed during the most hopeful holiday of the year!
*******
I am trapped.
The boulder is heading straight for me. I can’t escape. What good would it do anyway?
I’ve ended up in this exact situation before, too many times before, so why try to get away?
It’s my own stupid fault. I finally get that.
There’s nothing I can do.
I huddle down. How much will it hurt this time? I can’t take much more pain. I am so sorry. So very, very sorry. Not that that matters.
I’m knocked to the ground. But not by the boulder.
A man, a stranger, shoves me out of the way. I twist around to him. The boulder smashes into him and shatters into a pile of rubble, burying him.
I gape. I stare. Why would a stranger save me?
The pile moves. Flinging off the rocks, the man stands up.
I splutter, “B-b-but how? But who? But why?”
Brushing off the dust and dirt, the man gives me a huge grin and answers all my questions with one sentence.
“Dad sent me.”
This story is pretty powerful! I enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your story. God Bless you.
Thank you for your encouragement!
Beautiful story. There is always hope when you walk with the Lord?
Thank you!
I loved this story! Thank you for the reminder.
I’m so glad you liked it! I feel the Holy Spirit is moving me to tell people that God isn’t just our Heavenly Father but our Dad.
I could picture the story happening right in front of me! I liked the way you describe Jesus as being so powerful, but also kind and friendly.
