This Easter morning, I will be doing a live dramatization of the crucifixion and resurrection before a congregation in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have done this Holy Week drama dressed in Roman armor during the Lent/Easter for about thirty years in various locations in Canada and United States. But this is the first time I have done this “Centurion’s Report” presentation in Winnipeg.

Easter Sunday is an ideal time to view this one-man drama since Act 4 concludes with a portrayal of Jesus’ resurrection, and the turmoil and amazement it caused among the Roman soldiers and their centurion commander. See Matthew 27:62-66 and Matthew 28:1-1-15.  This is the same centurion who in Act 3 of this drama confesses at the foot of the cross that Jesus is “the Son of God.” See Matthew 27:54.

“The Centurion’s Report” drama became the springboard for my award-winning biblical novel The Soldier Who Killed a King.

This Easter wherever you are take a journey to the cross and the empty tomb.

Marvel and rejoice. Jesus is alive!

Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.

If you’ve heard the story of Passion Week so often it’s become stale, now is the time to rediscover the terrible events leading from Jesus’s humble ride into the city to his crucifixion. The Soldier Who Killed a King will stun you afresh with how completely Christ’s resurrection changed history, one life at a time.
