Divine Sabotage (Good Friday 2021)

Good Friday is a strange name for a day commemorating the death of Jesus, but it is fitting; everything about Jesus' life is an inversion of what we expect. God almighty living not as a king, but as a carpenter. The Son of God making friends not with the righteous, but with sinners. The Messiah arriving not to conquer, but to die. In this episode, from John's account of the conversation between Jesus of Nazareth and Pontius Pilate, we'll look at how one of my favorite movies relates to the story, how the Kingdom of Heaven is like kudzu, and how Jesus' suffering was actually his coronation.
