Every modern Christian understands that the events of the passion of Jesus Christ during Holy Week is the first of two crescendo messages and primary literary themes incorporated in the entire Bible.
God made mankind and He gave us free agency and free will. We soon goofed up and lost our intimate personal relationship with our Maker. Millennium later mankind had not found and could not find a way to restore our broken relationship with our Divine Master.
To repair this insoluble division the second person of the triune God was incarnated as a human being, Jesus the Christ. Both fully God, and man, fully man. Both a divine nature and a human nature combined but not confused, in one person.
Christ’s disciples and apostles are taught by Him daily. They travel and live with Him, hear his teachings, mull them over and mediate on their messages.
However Christ’s divine authority and teaching conflicts with that of the power elites of Judaism of their Roman overlords, and they decide that the Son of God must be executed.
Because we moderns know how this story ends, we badly and anachronistically misunderstand the core events of the week.
The God’s eye view of the disciple’s enigmatic confusion is what Father Moore presents so clearly for us in the 4 posts (6a to 6d) linked below:
