The devil paraded before God with his prisoner. Saying to God "they're mine, they've sinned against you, oh Lord" he jeered, "when they sin against you Lord, you have said yourself that must be judged and will not enter heaven, but will come under my kingdom."
Jesus who stood beside the prisoner looked at the prisoner bound and gaged, hopeless because of the fate seemingly awaiting him.
"Child, do you believe in me?" Jesus whispered in the ear of the prisoner "Yes! Yes! Lord I do" said the prisoner, recognising the voice of Jesus standing before him.
The devil scoffed "he is mine unless someone else will give their life instead, that is only fair."
"There is one who gave his life for this one" said God the Father, "He gave His life for all who believe" at this the Devil began to weep, and whimper at the realisation of his lose.
God looked at the devil in the eye, Satan's eyes darting to the to the ground, as he tried to hide the fear he felt as God said "The one who gave his life is Jesus, my Son"
This is the true story of why we celebrate easter.
