Glory and the Gibbit
Show notes
So when the Christ finally appeared, it seemed pretty clear to everyone what He was going to do. The most natural thing in the world to assume was that He would be manifested in power and glory, He would bare His right arm, and deliver the people of Israel. This assumption was even shared by the Lord’s disciples. He would destroy the Romans, and establish Israel as a free and prosperous kingdom, and He would do it all by kicking butt and taking names…Now they were right about the greater work of power—which is what the resurrection was—but they failed to budget for the humiliation that would need to happen first, setting the stage for the resurrection. In order to make a resurrection possible, it was necessary for Him to die.
