the crucifixion of jesus the messiah
There is a day in history that put a stain upon the world and upon each human walking upon it. Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ, the one the world had been waiting for to divide history and make all things new was beaten and abused and mocked and slandered and nailed to a cross. Hope, it seemed, died that afternoon as the light of the world seemed to go black.
What happened that brought Jesus to this point and position? Who did he upset and what did he say that brought them to the point of killing him? Why did it matter in His day and why does it matter for us? Why has this scene and historical incident captivated artists and theologians for the last 2000 years? What was it like for Jesus and others who were crucified? What can we learn about how we are supposed to live our lives from it? And why do we still talk about it and reflect on it and hold special services for it? It must matter...let's find out why.
Join us March 29 and April 5 ONLINE at 10:30 for a two week series focusing on the crucifixion of Jesus, the Messiah.
