For three days there was a hushed silence, and darkness across the land. The hope had been extinguished, the light had been snuffed out. The faithful were scattered and the powers that be rejoiced with glee. The man that had promised deliverance and to set the oppressed free had been defeated, or so it would seem. Then on a faithful moment, when the body gave in to pain. The spirit was set at liberty and so it all began. At first the ground shook, and the temple was set asunder. Then in the darkness, a light shone bright as new day. All sins had been forgiven and the stone would be rolled away. In one singular instance, all the oppressed of sin were set free. When the chains fell away, because the lord loved a wretch like  me.
