Mavia in Fiction

(In The Gospel According to Judas Iscariot)

When the time was Nigh, Jesus lead Judas to a clearing, and standing side by side said:

Can You do it...?

...will you heed the Word of God?

...will you make it as is Written?

...will you bear the X of Despise?

Can you do it...?

For the Grace of God.

Know that you have

already our Absolution,

in my Name and Love--

Without you, the Holy Will,

It Cannot Be Done...

For this Sacrifice, Judas I.,

You shall Be, in Confidence,

My most Beloved, cousin;

In Faith, you are the Spark

...that the World shall Ignite!

"Rabbi, God's will be done. I am committed in Sin, and in Sins Forgiven."

* Authors Note: The actual Gospel According to Judas was removed from the Bible in 180 AD by Irenaeus as Heretical and is no longer part of the Canon because it glorified Judas above all the other Disciples and is said to call into question whether Jesus died for our sins or merely to get into Heaven. I find both protests specious; there is a causal logic.
