Set in 28 A.D., Yeshua's Thief is the story of the family of a thief
on the cross who was forgiven. It is a story of sacrifice, redemption,
and romance.
Ezekiel struggles with the stigma of being the son of a thief. His
father, Dismas-leader of the Zealots, is not around much. One day Dismas
returns home and Ezekiel is excited to see him. Dismas reveals that he
has an important task: keep the dagger safe until he returns. The dagger
encrusted with jewels and garnished with gold is the most valuable thing
Ezekiel has ever seen. He quickly hides the dagger and his father leaves
and does not return for eight years.
Presuming him dead, Ezekiel sells the dagger at the market for enough
money to build three fishing boats. He is encouraged to seek out Yeshua
a local carpenter. Yeshua refuses to build the boats telling Ezekiel
that he must return the money and get the dagger back or someone in his
family will die. Ezekiel does not listen. A few years later his father
returns in chains and needs the dagger to buy his freedom from the
Romans. If Dismas does not return the dagger, then he could be sentenced
to the cross.
