The Guard was Asleep. (A Good Friday Story)

It had been a long day; he was up with the sun, and then when he thought he would have a night of enjoyment, he and his unit were ordered to stand by for a special assignment.

After waiting for what seemed like forever they were marched to a nearby park, and there with the help of a trader, they arrested a radical and took him away to meet his fate. They took him to the jail, and they told the guard to make sure he did not escape. Now the guard was asleep.

In any army in the world that would have meant death! But on this one night the guard was safe! No harm would come to him because the prisoner would not escape, and would wake him before anyone found him asleep. Yes, the guard was asleep, but was quite safe. Because the prisoner loved him, and everyone. For the radical was the son of God, Who came in to this world to save sinners. Even the man who would nail him to the cross later that day.
