He is buried alive to emulate Jesus but he dies

A shepherd in Zambia he was found dead after being buried in an attempt to emulate the resurrection of Jesus. He reports this BibliaTodo.com.

James Sakara, 22, pastor of the Zion church of the Christian congregation in Zambia, died trying to imitate Christ's resurrection in front of his parishioners, who he asked to bury him alive.

According to reports, Pastor Sakara, following what is written about Jesus and his Resurrection, told his congregation that he would "come back to life just like Christ" while being buried alive.

Of course, his congregation was reluctant to support their pastor on this idea, and only three men accepted the challenge.

With a shallow pit, Sakara entered with his hands tied and was buried alive: 72 hours later, however, the same congregation noted that the pastor's desire for resurrection did not come true.

Local media reported that in the midst of "various spiritual exercises" the congregation tried to revive him, without success.

After the news of this act, the local authorities filed a complaint against the three men who helped bury the parish priest; one of them has already been arrested and the other two are fugitives.
