Victory Of The Cross
In this alternative narrative, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, stands on the cross at Calvary, surrounded by a mocking crowd, Roman soldiers, and his despairing disciples. His body is bruised, the crown of thorns pierces his forehead, and nails pierce his hands and feet. Yet in this version, the trial is not merely physical but a supernatural confrontation with Satan himself, who has the power to end Jesus’ suffering.
As Jesus hangs on the cross, Satan appears in a dark, shadowy figure, invisible to the crowd but clear to Jesus. His voice is seductive, a whisper that cuts through the pain.
“Worship me, and I will save you. No more pain, no more death. You can live, save your disciples, lead the world in peace.”
Jesus, racked with agony in his humanity, first repeats his divine resolve.
“Depart from me, Satan! My Father is my way.”
But Satan intensifies the torture by using supernatural powers: visions of burning cities, suffering disciples, and a world without hope flood Jesus’ mind. The pain of the cross becomes unbearable as Satan intensifies the wounds with invisible fire. The hours pass, and Jesus’ strength fades. The crowd jeers, the disciples weep, and the sky darkens, as if God himself turns away.
“Your Father has abandoned you,” Satan continues to whisper, “I am your salvation. One word and you are free.”
Jesus struggles, recites psalms, and cries out to God, but the superhuman pain and Satan’s manipulation wear him down. In a moment of weakness, driven by the human fear of endless suffering, Jesus collapses.
“Satan … I … I adore you,” he murmurs in a broken voice.
In that instant, the cross dissolves. The nails disappear, Jesus’ wounds heal, and he stands on solid ground, physically unharmed. Satan smiles triumphantly, his figure dissolving into smoke.
“You are mine, and the world will know it.”
The crowd, confused and horrified, disperses, some believing a miracle, others betrayal. The disciples, deeply shaken, flee, unable to comprehend what has happened. But salvation is illusory. Jesus, now free from the cross, wanders the desert, his spirit torn. He has survived, but his connection to God is broken.
Satan’s influence permeates his thoughts, and every act he performs—be it healing the sick or preaching peace — bears the shadow of Satan’s power. The world sees a living Messiah, yet Jesus knows he has not achieved a divine triumph. His surrender saved him, but at a price greater than death: he lives as a servant of Satan, unable to accomplish the true redemption of humanity.
The story ends with Jesus kneeling alone in the desert, his face etched with remorse. He whispers a final prayer to God, but it remains unanswered. Satan has triumphed, and the story of redemption is never written.
