This is a work of fiction, but the words of Jesus in the story are true. The story takes place during the Resurrection and the Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The teachings are from the book of Mark and are told by Jesus. The love story is between Barabbas, whom Jesus was crucified in place of, and Mary Magdalene, from whom Jesus cast out the seven demons. Barsabbas is Barabbas' new name after he becomes a believer. The love story is not just between Barsabbas and Mary Magdalene, but also their love for Jesus. Every evening Jesus comes to a group of believers for forty days to preach, teach and have fellowship with them. The teachings are true. The love story of Barsabbas and Mary Magdalene is false.
