Nothin' But Fine: with Emily Trotter
Hurts So Good | Matthew 27
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The crucifixion is terrible to read. The whole thing actually, from beginning to end. All the events that took place…unsettling. I don’t want Jesus to have suffered. The anger I feel when I think of those priests and teachers and elders. The lies they told. Their blood lust. They were supposed to be the ones you could trust. Goodness and morality were key parts of their job. Yet they were the crowd that shouted to crucify.
If only things had been different. If only Pilate had refused. But here’s the thing. It had to be this way. Jesus came to do one thing. And this was it. It all had to happen. Each piece was crucial. This timing was everything. None of it was by chance. No coincidences. Jesus had to die. Otherwise, we would. This was the only way to defeat death. The only way to bring salvation to sinners.
“When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood’, he said. ‘It is your responsibility!’
All the people answered, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’”
Matthew 27:24-25
