As one reads the gospels, one finds Jesus's path being crossed by
what we might call walk on characters. These are often people with
a need, to whom Christ ministers in a way which reveals his glory.
Then the narrative moves on to new characters, new situations and
the individuals to whom Jesus has just ministered fade into
obscurity. But these walk on characters were real people living in
real situations, facing real problems. Apart from their brief
appearance in the gospel narrative, we know nothing about their
lives. This book provides a series of pictures which speculate on
what the background of these characters might have been. Of course,
these accounts are all fictional. They suggest situations which may
provide explanations to questions which are not answered in the
gospels. For example, why did Jesus's declaration of forgiveness to
the paralysed man whose friends had lowered him through the roof to
Jesus feet, so immediately effect his cure? What was so special
about the centurion and his servant who Jesus healed at a distance
without ever meeting them or even entering into the Centurion's
house? While the stories in this book suggest answers to these and
other unknown facts about the walk on characters in the gospels,
the reader is invited to consider whether or not the writer's
suggestions are really plausible, and if not, to suggest what may
be more likely scenarios. The writer hopes that these stories will
bring to life, Biblical characters who may be otherwise overlooked
as just incidental by anyone reading the gospels and rightly, fully
focusing their attention on Jesus, as he reveals his unique nature
through his ministry of teaching and healing.
