Here is a sample from one of the chapters:
500 WITNESSES
There was Jesus standing in front of all 500 of them! At his own funeral.
Jesus announced that he would like to say hello to every one of them. So, they lined up, and one by one were able to talk to Jesus and touch him. “Thank you, Jesus” they all wanted to say.
First was Michel, one of the wise men. He was old now and happened to have been visiting in Jerusalem when Jesus had been crucified. Michel bowed to Jesus just as he had when Jesus was a toddler. “Thank you, Jesus.”
Here came one of the shepherds ~ now old ~ that the angels had appeared to when Jesus was born. Then some people from the wedding where he turned water to wine. “Thank you, Jesus.”
Then Nicodemus and Joseph who buried him. Then the woman Jesus met by the well in Samaria. Then Captain Demetrius, his maid, and the little boy Jesus healed. Then Chuza and Joanna and their little boy who Jesus healed. “Thank you, Jesus.”
There were people he had healed of blindness and deafness and various diseases. There were people with missing legs and hands that he made grow back, and people with shriveled legs and hands that he made fill out and whole again. “Thank you, Jesus.”
