Did you hear about the day man killed God?

Pretty interesting day; of course, it was a conspiracy. The religious and civil authorities came together and conspired to get rid of this annoying little man. Annoying because He was so good – helping, healing, talking peace, justice and freedom from the establishment’s oppression.
It was obvious this man was God, though. Who else could calm a storm, raise the dead and forgive sins?
What better way than execution as a criminal to not only humiliate Him, but to neutralise any credibility He might have had. Nailed to a tree. Even the Scriptures cursed such a man.
What a great idea – get rid of God and there is no-one left to stand in the way of total world domination! Would have worked too, except for that third day thing.
Easter. Thank God for that third day thing.
