In the story of the cross there is a sacrifice, there is sin and betrayal. In the past we have talked about the reality of a personal God, the supernatural world and now this very human event. So these questions ought to be asked as they are central to faith. Bishop Barron professed that Jesus comes by stealth and as he radiates divine power present in the world, he is opposed by Herod and the Sanhedrin, Pharisees, Scribes and Sadducees. Jesus’ trial and death drew out all the sin of the world.
