Have you ever seen a picture of Jesus on the cross? Jesus was a good man so who decided that he would die on a cross? How did this happen?

Today, let’s talk about how and why it was that Jesus came to die on the cross.

Before he died on the cross Jesus spent time with his friends, the apostles. One evening they shared a special dinner together. Since it was the last time they ate together this meal is called the “Last Supper”.

At the supper, Jesus told his friends that he would soon die. Jesus told them that even though they were his friends even THEY would all run away when he got into trouble.

The apostles did not believe this could ever happen. Peter told Jesus that there was no way he would ever leave Jesus. Jesus told Peter to just wait and see. He said Peter would deny him three times before he heard the sound of a rooster crowing. Peter just couldn’t believe this could ever happen.

Later, Jesus went to a garden to pray and soldiers came and arrested him. They tied him up and took him to the religious leaders. First to Annas and then to Caiaphas. Some people and religious leaders told lies and said Jesus had done many bad things. They did not like that Jesus said he was the king of the Jews.

The religious leaders were so angry at Jesus that they decided to take him to the Roman Governor and tell him to have Jesus killed.

The Roman Governor was called Pontius Pilate. The religious leaders said to Pilate, “We demand that Jesus be crucified!”

“Crucified?” Pilate thought, “Only the worst criminals were every punished by being put on a cross and crucified to die.” Pilate kept asking Jesus questions about what the religious leaders were saying but Jesus did not even try to defend himself.

Pilate didn’t really want to crucify Jesus so he told them to take Jesus to another governor, Herod Antipas.

Herod Antipas only made fun of Jesus. He and his soldiers made a crown from thorns and placed it on Jesus’ head. They also put a robe and on him to make fun of him for being called the king of the Jews.

While all of this was happening, where do you think Jesus’ friends were? Do you think they were trying to help Jesus?

No, they were just confused and afraid. Some people saw Peter and asked him if he knew Jesus. He was afraid that if he said he knew Jesus the people might hurt him just like they were hurting Jesus. So Peter denied he knew Jesus. Two other times people noticed Peter and asked him if he know Jesus. Each time he said, “no”. Finally, after the third time guess what Peter heard? He heard a rooster crowing! It was just like Jesus said it would happen!

Meanwhile, Jesus had been sent back to Pilate. The Jewish leaders and many people kept demanding that Jesus be crucified.

Pilate did not like so many people being angry and shouting. He had an idea. Pilate brought out a really bad prisoner named Barabbas. He put this really bad man next to Jesus and asked the crowd to choose which one should be set free. Surely the crowd would say that Jesus should be set free! But no, the crowd was so angry that they began yelling for the bad man to be set free and for Jesus to be crucified.

Pilate had finally had enough. He let Barabbas, the bad man, go free.

Then Pilate called his soldiers. He said, “Take Jesus away. Beat his back with a whip and then put him on a cross and leave him there until he dies.”

Jesus has more power than Pilate or the angry people or even the soldiers. If Jesus wanted to he could have stopped everyone.

But Jesus did not stop them. He let the soldiers lead him away, Jesus was thinking about everyone in the world who has ever done anything bad (sinned). Jesus loves everyone in the world very much!
