The Death of Jesus, and the Birth of the Church




Audio Divina show

Summary: John's story of Jesus' passion is unique. Jesus is in control at all times in the Garden, before Jewish authorities, before Pilate, on the Cross, and is buried as a king. At the centre of the story, Pilate proclaims him as King, and on the Cross he perfects the task given to him by his Father. In dying, he pours down the Spirit on the infant Church of his Mother and the Beloved Disciple. Presented by Rev. Professor Francis J.
