Short Story - Comedy - Ants Witness Jesus' Resurrection

Joseph and Josiah were two ants who lived in theant colony which had
moved into the tomb ordained by God to temporarily hold Jesus' body.
This colony, as well as all the ant colonies in Jerusalem had heard
the news about Jesus' crucifixion. They had heard about the scourging,
the crown of thorns on Jesus' brow, the whiskers being plucked out of
His beard, the nails driven into His hands and feet. They had heard
about the spear being thrust into His side after His death. They had
heard, that in contrast to the thieves with whom He had been
crucified, his legs had not been broken to hasten death, because He
was already dead. Josiah and Joseph watched as Jesus' lifeless body
was placed inside the tomb. They wept tears of sorrow because they
realized they were witnessing the burial of their creator. Then they
wept tears of joy, because they had heard about Jesus' prophesyingthat
He would be resurrected. Joseph and Josiah did not want to disturb
Jesus' body, but they wanted to get a good look at the Son of God, so
they crawled veryclose to Him. "How could people be so cruel?," sobbed
Josiah. "I don't know," replied Joseph in a soft whisper. "It looks
like everyone would have been able to see that He was the Son of God."
"He was and is the Son of God!," exclaimed Josiah. "You and I are
smart enough to realize that God's power is goingto raise Him from the
dead." "Yes, we do know that," acknowledged Joseph. "Say, I have an
idea. As soon as it happens, let's communicate to all the ants in and
around Jerusalem about Jesus being raised from the dead. We can be
responsible for letting all the ants worldwide know about His
resurrection." "Wonderful idea, Joseph," said Josiah. "In fact, we can
be the first of any of God's creatures to share that good news." Hour
after hour passed and, with the exception of the time they spent
eating and sleeping, Joseph and Josiah spent every second keeping a
watchful and loving guard over Jesus' body. Not a moment too soon for
Josiah and Joseph, came the ordained moment for Jesus' resurrection.
The guards became as dead men. Thelight of the resurrected Son of God
and the awesome presence of theHoly Spirit brought an amazing
intensity into the tomb. "I wonder why some of those humans didn't
believe that Jesus was going to rise from the grave," said Josiah. "I
don't know," laughed Joseph. "I guess they just weren't as smart as
you and me!"
