Easter message from the CEO of the BSSA
When the story of Jesus’ crucifixion is told or preached, Jesus is often portrayed as a hopeless figure on the cross who lost the battle against the ruling powers of the time, a helpless man whose only way of convincing people of the truth of his message of hope was to submit to failure. It would seem many people want to create sympathy for Jesus, who surrendered his life for mankind. Others find it difficult to accept the invitation to follow a leader who died by hanging helplessly on a cross.
