This will be the last letter I write. The very same night I witnessed the events in the house that Jesus and his disciples ate at he was arrested by the Roman authorities. I was later told he was accused of treason against the Roman Empire and of blasphemy before the Sanhedrin. He was sentenced to crucifixion. I was devastated. I went up to the place where they hung him up. He was bloodied, bruised and distorted from abuse I could barely stand to look. He hung there among common criminals, this man I was revered as a true man and prophet of God. I saw him hang there for 7 hours, finding it so hard to remain and yet impossible for me to leave. He would call out from time to time to God and those around Him. At about the 9th hour he called out to heaven “It is finished!” His head then hung down and he was dead. A roman soldier stabbed him with his spear on his side to ensure his death. A great earthquake began to shake the earth and everyone ran for shelter. That’s it. That’s all I have. I thought this man would deliver us and now he is gone forever. I feel disappointed, angry and even just plain stupid. I threw my life away for this man, a simple man. A no one. An imposter.
