The Cross

Instead of talking about Jesus, today study's on the people around him on the way to cruxification. This is a very interesting perspective of approaching the Cross. How do we relate to the characters in our attitude, our decision, our response and consequences?

Followers
-Superficially following Jesus, and they fled when their faith's under question and persecution. Remained lost.

Apostles
-Did not take Jesus's plea seriously, and they fell asleep while were asked to 'keep watch'. In shock and in denial when the Son of God got arrested and led away from them.

Peter
-Always proclaimed he'd always love Jesus, but denied Jesus 3 times when under public persecution. Repented and did great work for God's church.

Judas
-Blinded by greed, betrayed and sold Jesus off for 30 silver of a price of a slave. Overwhelmed by guilt, and hung himself.

Pilate
-Under political pressure and to please the crowds, he "washed his hands off" the matter, but can he really get away from the responsibility?

The Crowds
-Demanded for miracles from Jesus, as "seeing is believing"?

Godly vs Worldly Sorrow ==> Action ==> Consequences

l see my own attitude in some of the characters at certain point of time under certain circumstances...
