Ascending the Heavenly Throne

He was crucified by the Romans with the sharpest nails by the will of an angry mob; did anyone hear Jesus's sob? Pilate refused to find him guilty and washed his hands. Betrayed by Peter, hated by rebellious Barabbas; whipped at every fall, He patiently carried that cross to Calvary, but a kind, humble woman felt much pity for Jesus and with a clean cloth wiped off his blood as an act of mercy! And dragging His heavy cross through the narrow streets of chaotic and uncompassionate Jerusalem, someone, who had heard him preach about God's Kingdom, picked up his cross and relieved some of the pain and sorrow! Many believed Him to be the Christ, but the envious Pharisees did not, and accusing him of blasphemy, they mocked him... not noticing how the April sky was becoming dim! He was laid in an empty, cold tomb amid palm trees and stones and on the third day, as Jesus promised the twelve disciples; He miraculously rose...ascending the heavenly throne, where God the Father handed Him the glorious crown!
