"How did this happen? How did Jesus’ life of peace end in such a violent
death? We stand at the edge of this moment, looking on in horror and
confusion — just as Jesus’ followers did on the day he was crucified.
The violence we have seen is numbing: it robs us of the ability to think
clearly... The familiar formula — that Jesus died for our sins — raises more
questions than it answers. First, exactly how is Jesus’ death connected
with our forgiveness? Why does this terrible thing lead to that
wonderful thing? And who is it that wants this sacrifice anyway?" The Rev. Jason Cox in his "Sacrifice: Sunday of the Passion," raises these questions, and provides an answer. What are your thoughts?
