Seven Messages For Good Friday Or Lent Based Upon Mark's Passion Of Jesus
The language in this passage is remarkably restrained.
There is no attempt in it to create sympathy for Jesus.
There is no attempt to incite hatred toward those
responsible for the actual crucifixion itself.
This is an event far too solemn for that sort of thing.
The facts are stated and left to stand for themselves.
There is no additional comment of any kind.
In a passage where the language is so carefully chosen
the reader must go through it slowly and thoughtfully.
Otherwise we might miss what is being said.
