Narration 6
Narrator 2: Only days earlier, Jesus had said these words: "When
I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to
myself." His words were a foretelling of this moment
when He would be raised up on a cross to die for the
sins of the world.
Narrator 1: As Jesus died, darkness came over the whole land;
the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to
bottom; the earth shook and the rocks split open.
Narrator 2: But the miracle of miracles was that skeptics in that
moment became believers. Even a Roman Centurion, an
eye witness at the cross, observed: "Surely this was the
Son of God!"
Narrator 1: Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the
Council asked for permission to remove Jesus' body
from the cross. Joseph bought some linen cloth, took
down the body, wrapped and placed it in a tomb cut
out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the
entrance of the tomb.
Narrator 2: Greater love has no one than this: that one lay down His life
for His friends.
