The Word of Relationship

Leading to this Word of Relationship we find this sort of behind the scenes bargaining between the religious leaders and the Roman Governor, the notorious Pontius Pilate. These frenzied negotiations (if we could call them that) stand in stark contrast with the apparent tenderness and composure of The Third Word. There’s an unholy alliance between the Church and the State at the start and… at the finish, a sweet and caring HOLY alliance, that’s familial and generous.

I want to look at this juxtaposition of blindness and kindness, of tenderness and treachery and some deeper things we might easily miss but that show the profound significance of this moment and this Third Word:
1)The Way of the World
2)The Way of the King
3)The New and Living Way of Relationship (Heb 10.19-22)
