the spear soldier page 16 by ric gustafson
Cassius and the other three soldiers sat on the ground and tossed dice for Jesus's seamless robe. They watched as the people below Jesus's cross began to taunt him and throw insults at him.
One of the two robbers now taunted him also. " If you are the Christ, save yourself and us".
The other robber spoke up. " We are getting what we deserve but this man has done nothing wrong". He looked at Jesus. " Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom".
Jesus slowly turned his head. " Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise".
After three hours, blood from Jesus's wounds dripped from his body.
All of a sudden, darkness covered the land.
