My story is entitled Jesus Christ vanished into thin air after his resurrection from the grave.

Once upon a time, the person well noted to have vanish into the thin air was Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The story begins wen Jesus Christ of Nazareth was crucified with two other robbers. As noted, the two robbers one was on his right and the other on his left on the cross. After arriving at Golgotha, Jesus was offered wine mixed with myrrh or gall to drink. He was then crucified and hung between two convicted thieves who were by then robbers. The thieves were bandits or some Jewish rebels. According to Mark's Gospel, he endured the torment of  the crucifixion from the third hour. Also, until Jesus death on the ninth hour, the soldiers affixed a sign above his head stating "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" which, according to the Gospel of John, was in three main languages. (Hebrew, Latin, and Greek), and then they divided his garments and cast lots for his seamless robe.

According to the Gospel of John, the Roman soldiers did not break Jesus' legs, as they did that to the two crucified thieves. Also breaking the legs hastened their onset of death, as Jesus was dead already. Each gospel has its own account of Jesus' last words, seven statements altogether. In the Synoptic Gospels, various supernatural events accompany the crucifixion, including darkness, and an earthquake. Also following Jesus' death, his body was removed from the cross by Joseph Arimathea and buried in a rock -hewn tomb with Nicodemus assisting.

As the entire scriptures was fulfilled it says he was numbered with the transgressions. Also, those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying you who destroys the temple and build it in three days. Save yourself and come down from the cross. -One of the Roman soldiers said. Again, the Chief Priest also mocked among themselves with the scribes and said, He saved others himself, he cannot save. Also let the Christ King of Israel descend now from the cross that we may see and believe. Also, those who were crucified with him and reviled him. During the sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. Also, during the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachtham.? which is translated as my God.

My God why have you forsaken me. Others commented that Jesus Christ was calling Elijah. An individual filled a sponge full of sour wine and put it on a reed and offered it to him to drink saying, Let him alone, let us see if Elijah will come to take him down. Again, Jesus Christ also cried out with a loud voice and then breathed at last. It was by then that the veil of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom. Truly this man is the son of God. Also, there were women looking on from afar among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and Josses and Salome.

Joseph of Arimathea a prominent council member who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God coming and then taking courage went in with Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus Christ. Pilate then marveled that he was already dead and summoning the centurion he asked him if he had been dead for some time. Jesus Christ was also wrapped in a fine linen. He was later laid in a tomb which had been made out of the rocks and a stone was rolled against the door of the tomb. Also, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices that they might anoint him.

As realised very early in the morning on the first day of the week they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. They also said among themselves: Who will by force means roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us. Again, when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away for it was large. 

After entering the tomb, they then saw a young man clothed in some sort of long white robe sitting on the right side and they were alarmed. He was more of an Angel to them. The young man said to them be not alarmed if you seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified. Jesus Christ is risen, he is no more here. They observed the tomb and the place where Jesus Christ was laid. They said nothing to anyone for they were afraid. Also, he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene out of whom he had cast out the seven demons. Also, she went and told those who had been seen by her that they did not believe. He then appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

Later Jesus Christ appeared to the eleven disciples as they sat at the table and he rebuked their unbelief and the hardness of the heart because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. Again, he said to them, Go into all the world and then preach the gospel to every creature that you may see. Jesus Christ also said that he who believes and is baptized will be saved. Also he that does not believe will be condemned. These are the signs that will follow those who believe in my name that they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues of the gospel. Those who believed in Jesus Christ will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.

Finally, after the Lord Jesus Christ had spoken to them, he went up into heaven vanishing into thin air by then Jesus Christ was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand side of God.
