An Easter Story

Matthew 27

Now upon sunrise on the Sabbath, two days hereafter the crucifixion of Jesus of Galilee, did his apostles meet in the temple to discuss all they had seen. And there did Peter tell the apostles of the events on Calvary saying He has been sacrificed. With mine eyes I have seen Him mocked and hanging. This has been done by sinful men. Nails through his hands and feet and atop His divine head, a crown of thorns. And lies he now in a sepulchre, cold and without company. Peter then did wail and beat his chest, and did lament the great pain of His Lord.

And so did the apostles gather unto him, and Andrew, one among them, did depart from the crowd to console Peter, saying Jellybean? And when Peter had taken the colorful bean, and had saw that it was strawberry, he spoke quickly and with great joy, saying Lo! These are delicious. Reveal unto me where you hath discovered them, so that I might go and partake of handfuls many.

And Andrew said unto Peter, Come, for in my great wisdom I have hidden such beans aplenty in eggs of every color, and if ye seek them, you shall be rewarded on earth and in Heaven with untold treats of every size and flavor. Then Peter went away from them, believing he hath seen one such egg atop the temple doorjam.

So sayeth the Lord.
