About this episode
"Look Mother, is that Jesus?" a little boy called Nathan cried in horror. His mother rushed to his side, and, looking to where he pointed, she saw Jesus walking along a path, carrying a rugged cross, surrounded by a big group of people. Mother gasped. She grabbed Nathan's hand and together they ran to see the sight. It was Friday afternoon, and many people had gathered outside the city of Jerusalem to see the crucifixion. "Nathan and his mother stopped behind a group of weeping women, and watched the scene with grief. Nathan saw Jesus fall to the ground under the weight of the heavy cross, and then he turned to see the Roman guards grab a man from out of the crowd and order him to carry Jesus' cross for Him. Jesus stumbled along behind the man who carried His cross, and Nathan could see the deep red marks on Jesus' back from where He had been whipped. He saw the crown of thorns that dug into His head, which caused blood to flow down His face, and He had bruises all over his arms and legs. What on earth has happened to Jesus? Nathan wondered in shock. Who would do this to Him?" Tune in to listen to the whole story.
