[PASSION] 13. The Cross, Part 1 (POJ 5.8)
Description
Paul, Robert, and Liz continue their slow walk through the last hours of Jesus' life, looking at Jesus and the cross.
"There are so many things that Jesus says that are memorable because they're pithy. 'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do' is certainly one that has implanted itself in our memories. But it's very serious. Jesus is holding back the wrath of God. They don't realize that they're crucifying an innocent man, so Jesus is showing mercy on them."
"The only person that openly defends Jesus is a thief."
"When Pilate said, 'Where are you from?' he was not asking for Jesus' name. He knew this was Jesus of Nazareth. He wasn't saying, 'what's your hometown,' but, 'are you actually God?' And of course, the main thing Pilate is mocking here is not Jesus, but the Jews, and they know it."
