| Christ of Saint John of the Cross - Salvador Dali |
Why was Jesus killed? Was it because the temple authorities were fed up with his challenges to their conventional and sometimes petty rules? Because he healed on the Sabbath? Because he overturned the money-changers' tables in the temple? Because he was a blasphemer? Was it for preaching a revolutionary message of a radically new kingdom of God, different from what everybody thought a kingdom should be?
Was his message of love for your enemies and concern for the poor that much of a threat to the powers and dominions?
Or was it all that and something more, which his followers began to figure out after the first Easter?

What do you think?
