The Tree and the Stones

By Kevin D. Finson

This is a story of how something seemingly insignificant and unworthy can end up having a role larger than life. It is told from the perspective of the tree that became the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. The cedar tree was growing alone atop a stone ridge, constantly belittled by the large stones surrounding it and told how uselessness it was compared to the stones' more enduring strengths. The tree's life was upended the day a special man came and prayed beneath the tree's shade and spoke to large crowds of people. Soon after, the tree found itself being cut down and dragged into town where it was hewn into beams. The tree did not understand why any of that was happening and worried about what was to become of it. The men used the beams to make the cross upon which the special man was nailed. Because of what that man had done and the tree's role in his final hours, the tree's life had now become far more important and enduring than that of any stone.
