 4.12-

One of the most famous history writers is Josephus, born 37 A. D. He wrote that most of twelve apostles died as martyrs, except John. They along with 500 others saw the resurrected Jesus.
This year is my first Easter to have watched someone I was with almost every day for 56 years as Jesus took her to Paradise. There were two criminals Jesus reached out to on his last day before His death. One chose his own selfish, rebelious way and one chose Jesus' way.
The one who chose Jesus' way spoke the truth to Jesus and his fellow sinner, a criminal. Believe that all humans are big sinners and there is no such thing as big sinners and little sinners in the sight of God. He confessed Jesus is King and not himself or anyone else. Only Jesus' tomb is empty.
Respect God and receive His grace, mercy and peace.
Face your suffering and darkness. Three hours or longer.
When you day comes,Go with Jesus to Paradise. Your body stays here your soul goes to Our Father with Jesus.
Take your highest earthly joy, multiply it by million. Extend it forever with God and all those saved by faith in God. Happy Easter. 2023.

Luke 23.

26 As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 Then

“‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!”
    and to the hills, “Cover us!”’[b]

31 For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[c] And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”

36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”

38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.

39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[d]

43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
