John 19:38(NKJV)
38After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a
disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he
might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.
Joseph of
Arimathea. That name is a blast from the
past. What great memories.
I'm talking about a
book called the Christ Commission by Og Mandino. If you have never read it I would highly
recommend it. It's a fiction book and a
fun read. Here is the description from
Amazon.com.
"In front of eight million TV viewers, "The
Greatest Mystery Writer in the World" bragged he could prove Christ was
actually stolen from the tomb and never really rose from the dead . . . if he
were given just one week back in ancient Jerusalem. That night
author Matt Lawrence got his wish. A knock-out punch took him right
out of this world and landed him in Biblical Judea in 26 A.D., just six years
after the execution of Jesus at Golgotha. In relentless pursuit of
his investigation, Lawrence walked the same streets Jesus walked, visited the
same places . . . and found himself facing the same
dangers. Eyewitness reports might lead him to a discovery that would
shake the world--but will he live long enough to tell the 30th century that he
just solved the greatest mystery of all time?"

If you want to treat
yourself to a nice story that is faith affirming at the same time, give this
book a read. I believe you will be
blessed by it.
