Hi.
I've been working on my website - so this is shameless self-publicity and I hope you guys and gals engage with my work etc.
That said, in the context of Lent, I've been reading a book called Between Cross And Resurrection: A Theology Of Holy Saturday. Look it up. It is astonishing - and I mean - ooooh.
So and I shall inevitably dumb this down - my being a bit dumbed down... For the first Christians, the crucifixion happened, and Easter hadn't happened yet.
God was a dead human corpse put away in an available tomb prior to Sabbath - having been crucified. (The book is really good and spectacularly intelligent...)
Therefore, as we consider the crucifixion, we need to see/hear/read the story in ways that both already know the resurrection, Easter, and ways that don't - as if this is the first time and we are then.
That's as briefly as I can put it.
It is so profound - thoughts if you let them play.
And I put a reading of Acts 7 on my website - which was recorded awhile ago but I can understand what I was doing there....

The audio in question does not auto-play - but I hope you enjoy and that you do not mind me posting to ask you to listen to it.
