"NEVER FORGET"
INTRODUCTION
1. WHAT WOULD THE LAST TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OF JESUS CHRIST LOOK LIKE IF IT WERE SET IN A 21ST CENTURY CULTURE TO THE FORMAT OF THE POPULAR "24" TELEVISION SERIES?

I CAN ASSURE YOU THE INTRIGUE, THE MYSTERY, THE SUSPENSE, THE PLOT TWIST AND EVEN THE GREATEST SURPRISE ENDING IN HISTORY ARE ALL PACKED INTO THESE LAST 24 HOURS. SO BEGINNING TODAY THINK ABOUT THIS:

• HOW WOULD THAT LOOK? HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND? WHAT DIFFERENCE COULD IT MAKE TO YOU, TO YOUR FAMILY, AND TO THE WORLD?
LET THE STORY BEGIN...[SHOW VIDEO]

THAT IS WHAT DAVID CASTILLO, A CONVICTED MURDER, ATE THE NIGHT BEFORE HE WAS PUT TO DEATH WITH A LETHAL INJECTION.
