Centurion's Report, crucifixion, drama, dramatization, Easter, Jesus, resurrection, Roman centurion, Savior, the cross


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.

A Journey through the Psalms to Cross

drama, dramatization, Good Friday, Jesus, prophetic, Psakms Alive!, Psalms, Savior, the cross


This evening as this post goes live, I will be doing a live dramatization of fourteen Psalms before an  audience in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have done this drama in biblical costume from time to time for about thirty years, but this is the first time I have done this “Psalms Alive!” presentation on Good Friday.

In many respects Good Friday is an ideal time to view this drama since it ends with a portrayal of Jesus’ death on the cross based on the words of Psalm 130.

I am struck by the prophetic links between the Psalms and the life of Jesus our Savior.

This Good Friday take a journey to the cross.

Centurion's Report, drama, resurrection, the cross

Over the last 25 years, I have done this drama production over a hundred times all across the continent. It never grows old because the story of the cross and the resurrection are life renewing.

It will be exciting to see people respond to the core message of the gospel.

Please pray for an impactful presentation that changes lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.

centurion, Christ's Passion, drama, resurrection, the cross

I’m looking forward to the first performance this Lent/Easter season of “The Centurion’s Report” on Sunday, at Café Church in downtown Kingston, Ontario.

“The Centurion’s Report” is my own one-man, four-act drama. It’s the story of our Lord’sPicture Cent-helmet passion, but it’s told from a different point of view, the viewpoint of the centurion who witnessed Christ’s death upon the cross. It was this man who is quoted in Matthew’s gospel as saying, “Truly, this was the Son of God” (Mt. 27:54).

Over the years, countless lives all across the continent have been changed by the Spirit as they have witnessed this portrayal of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord. Have you been to the cross lately? Every man, woman and child needs to visit there.

“The Centurion’s Report” also led me to write the award-winning biblical novel, “The Soldier Who Killed a King“.  Trust me on this point. There is no higher drama than the drama of the cross and the resurrection. Don’t miss out on participating in it this year.

Pleasant surprises are just that—pleasant. This morning I woke up to a pleasant surprise on my Facebook page. That surprise came courtesy of Greg Thurston. He posted the following review of my book:

Last night I finished reading The Soldier Who Killed a King, by David Kitz: I was Soldier bookspeechless, but I must speak.

What a compelling story of the Passion, told by the Centurion who drove the nails into Jesus’ hands. To say it was gripping, riveting, real, and fresh is completely inadequate. Kitz manages to skillfully draw you through a familiar story with uncommon drama, unexpected turns, and brings tears along the way.

This singular story is simultaneously the story of us all: seeking to deal with our guilt, our inner conflicts, and to find the elusive peace we know must be out there.

I highly recommend this book. You may think you know the story, but you don’t know it at all. Read it and see what it does to you.
