Transcript:

Imagine what Jerusalem must have been like.


No social media. No cameras.

Just whispers. Just rumors.


Jesus has risen.


Witnesses say they’ve seen Him—walking in the city, appearing in the villages surrounding Jerusalem.


The religious leaders are scrambling.

They hear the rumors. They try to shut them down.

Or maybe… some of them are starting to realize the grave mistake they’ve made.


The Romans are baffled.

Crucifixion doesn’t fail.


How could this be?

And the disciples?


They’re whispering among themselves.


Is this real? Do we tell everyone we see?

Or do we just stay quiet… and soak in every moment with Him?

How long until He actually takes His rightful place as King?


Jerusalem is alive with tension.


Confusion. Hope. Fear. Wonder.
