Luke-Time Flies

Jesse,

Long time, no see. I hear that you have moved to Colombia. I decided to write to my old friends from college, especially since the whole information boom here in Sydney. Since you’re so far away, I guess I’ll fill you in.

It turns out that in Perth lived two women, Liz and Joy. They were neighbors. They were the very presence of irony. Liz wanted children but was barren and couldn’t, although she tried and tried; and Joy was a virgin and didn’t plan on trying anytime soon. One day, neither of them felt well so they went to the doctor together. It turns out they both were pregnant. They called the doctor an angel. I call it a medical marvel. Liz’s husband, Steve, goes into shock and stops talking. Some say that it was God’s way of punishing him for not believing. When his son, Albert, was born he prays out loud to god and gets his voice back.

Later Joy and her boyfriend, Bob, went to Sydney where they had their son Alan. They thought he would be a very spiritual child but nothing compared to what he turned out to be. As an adult, Alan went to get baptized by no other than Albert. After that Albert gets arrested. Alan ties to go back to Perth but is rejected for being too into himself. In that case , he wanders to other places where he does things that only Chris Angel can explain.

Even though some people don’t like him his popularity grew. Maybe some publicity stunt of people spreading the word of how they didn’t like him so much that some started to believe the opposite. Because of this he got three key followers which followed everywhere. Alan despite of how hated he is manages to give a speech declaring his rules and to “do good to those who hate you 6:27” After preaching way too much he has now preachers who follow his every word, though still many people were disbelievers. He announces a final judgment to his followers. To all of what he says God wants. All this by preaching in the temple and many other places. Coming Passover he has a supper with his 12 followers and have wine and bread symbolizing his bread and body.

Poor Alan is then confronted by the whole town and crucified. Before he asks God for their forgiveness because they don’t know what they’re doing. Three days later, women followers go to his tomb and don’t find him. They say they found a ladybug who said he resurrected. They found this weird but later found him as he said, ““in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things” (24:47–48).”

So, what's new with you?
