Barabbas (Glovey Story)

"Barabbas" is a play that takes place in the Smurf Me Up series.

The Plot
The Smurfs re-enact the story of Barabbas. The story begins with a criminal named Barabbas, who was freed in the place of Jesus Christ. His life is sparred by popular demand as according to the holy text. His life is then turned upside down as he is forced to carry this burden for the rest of his life until he accepts of his wrong doings and offers himself up to God. He makes a friend named Sahak, who is killed by the Romans for his belief. Now, Barabbas must avenge his friend and find out his true purpose as to why God chose him to live and let his only begotten son die. The story ends with Barrabas being crucified with his fellow Christians and being saved by God's grace and his faith through Jesus Christ, finally dying in peace.

Trivia

 * This is meant to be a Smurfs version of the 1961 film and novel of Barabbas, by author Par Lagerkvist, with some original ideas.


 * It is unlikely that Nero played the fiddle as Rome burned since it would not be invented for another 1000 years in medieval France.


 * The bright light is assumed to be a special effect done behind the curtain to portray Jesus Christ.


 * The conversation in the end between Hefty and Aksel comes from the 1961 film adaption of the story.
