Easter is a source of light just as the sun rises in the east. Celebrated this Sunday, March 27, 2016, Easter celebrates the resurrected King, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was brought back to life after his crucifixion. “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life,” Jesus said in John 8:12.
Many people cannot help but follow that Light, even the Roman soldier who narrates the story attached below.
Read this account of Jesus’ death and resurrection as imagined through the eyes of this solider. The story is written by Kathy McMillan, MA, director, employee spiritual care, Loma Linda University Medical Center.
As the solider says in this story, “The King has risen; Jesus is alive.”
