This is my first effort for my "Calvary Characters" project. These are fictionalized first-person stories of people who surrounded Jesus during the time of His crucifixion and resurrected, based on Scripture and history. This first one was based on a monologue I did for Easter a couple of years ago. Let me know what you think.
CALVARY
CHARACTERS - BARABBAS
In a cave in the Negev of Judah, a hooded
figure slips through the shadows to join a band of robbers by the fire. As light from the flickering fire illuminates
his face, gasps echo in the cavern. The
newcomer removes his hood and speaks…
“Don’t
look so surprised! Yes! It is me!
Barabbas!”
