If you listen to what Jesus’ enemies shout at him on the cross, what they say makes sense from a certain point of view. But it’s a dangerous theology – one that will break our faith if we accept it as true. And the reality is, many Christians do think like the chief priests and elders in the crucifixion story. Father John explores the purpose of suffering in this Good Friday sermon, and asks whether we have understood how God interacts with us when we face great crises in our own lives.
