Evening: Psalm 8, 84; John 11:45-57
Both
Jesus’ death and early Christianity are shrouded in mystery. But there
are hints of a story different from the familiar one … The Jewish high
priest sought Jesus’ death to re-unite his divided nation. The religious
leaders freed Jesus’ disciples, Peter and John, so as not to oppose
God’s purposes. Jesus’ own people struggled hard to figure out just who
he and his disciples were. They sought to do the right thing. These
truer stories must be told to counter those that demonize Jesus’ own
people for his death, and that have brought such tragedy upon the Jews.
