One of the most crucial stories of the Bible came up in the last chapters of Mark. The reborn of Jesus. He has suffered a lot through the whole process of being crucified. And yet, God didn’t punish the ones who caused harm on him, just like he tried to do to the three friends of Job. However, Jesus got to sit peacefully on the right side of God. So I guess it is all good.
In those chapters about the death of Jesus, I was forced to realize the power of a crowd as you can see in verse 15:15,
“And soPilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him,to be crucified.”
People become so powerful and scary when they loose their self control and become as one. It is non-stoppable. It is way scarier when these people are manipulated by some malicious person. For example the Nazis in the Holocaust. (I am truly aware that the Holocaust is a way more complex problem.)
One of the things that surprised me was in verse 16:11, “And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.” Jesus is mad because his disciplines didn’t believe the others when they said Jesus has come back to life. When he was the one who said to not believe anyone even if they say that he has come back from the death. Or is this part of the faith moral?
