The resurrection.

30 minutes.
Father Mahn's life had boiled down to his last moments. His evacuation was due, in 30 minutes. 29.
He had prayed for this. BEGGED for it.
Being a rich curate had it's quirks.
He was going to free himself to travel and watch the resurrection. Yes, THE resurrection.
25 minutes.
Dr.Liao had changed the way humans would see the world, literally.
Earlier in his life Stephen Liao, at the time a budding physicist, came to the realization that it was IMPOSSIBLE to transport Mass across time. What was not impossible however was to transport ones soul. Now all he had to do was separate a man from his soul. Simple.
20 minutes.
Akoumman Mahn had been a religious, God loving man for as long as he could remember. all his life he wanted to be with the Lord. Even in The late 21'st century when the group of elite scientific thinkers residing in the 'Thrile Zain' district of West Germany theoretically proved the non existence of a 'superior force', he Didn't lose hope.
The last thing he ever expected was the fact that the very same technology that he had learned to despise, was the means through which he was finally going to meet his master.
15 minutes.
Liao was stumped. It could not be done!
Each human he tested it on died. Well, technically thats what he wanted. I mean, all death does is detach the soul from the body, and thats what he wanted! But how to manipulate them to travel through time?
10 minutes.
Sri Vasu Vaiddya had guided the meditation of millions of students. After a certain level, guided meditation could guide the souls of the students out of the body, around the room and back again. It was a revealing experience.
When Liao first approached him to teach this technique to a machine designed to create time portals for thought, lights and souls, Vasu laughed.
"Chinese and their technology!"
He stopped when he saw the cheque.
Those were enough circles to guide his soul into agreeing.
5 minutes.
Father Mahn had dreamed of seeing the shepherd's rebirth.
Finally. FINALLY.
Liao had told him that he would automatically be guided to the nearest body of a recently deceased member of the time.
2 hours before the resurrection of the son.
Mahn died and was born, again, approximately 2000 years back.
He could barely breathe. Parts of his body were hurting him tremendously. his wrists, his feet his abdomen.
He felt like he had just been crucified.
He lifted himself out of the 'container' he was in and burst out into daylight, eager to see the lord.
"He has risen"
Mahn could not locate the source of the voice since people rushed him from all sides. He should have followed Liaos advice of making sure the surroundings were empty. His wrists still hurt and he now realized that they had holes in them! He could barely walk since he felt that a part of his legs was missing!
You see, fate had an unusual way of working things, as Mahn later realized.
HE WAS THE RESURRECTION.
without Liao and his technology, a belief would have died before it was ever born.
Mahn, you poor old puppet, You were not religious, just plain old narcissistic.
