Soldier: I put lots of men on crosses because I have to. It's disgusting. Murderers and thieves deserve it. This Man does not deserve it. You want him executed. Why?

Father forgive them they know not what they do.

We mocked him and spat on him. We brought him here to Golgotha - the place of the skull. We crucified him and cast lots for his clothes. Not much of a king now

Finally we will be rid of him. If he is the Son of God let him get off the cross.

How deep the Father's love for us. His dying breath has brought me life. His wounds have paid my ransom.
Drama - I thirst.
God came to this earth sending his only Son to the people he created.
Jesus told us He would go away but we would see him again and rejoice.
Quartet
Cool clear water. One day I came to him I was so thirsty. He gave me water but for that he died. He said I thirst yet he made the rivers. He made the seas. In His Great Thirst He brought water to me.
Pastor Dave
The greatest achiement is usually a display of strength. Not The cross. But He is still in control. He put himself on the cross. Willingly. Something comes out of it. Your freedom and mine.
Jesus instituted the eucharist communion Lord's table. Take it eat it remember.
If you understand the profound magnificent defeat please take part in the Lord's Supper. We are thankful for what you offer us.

"Take and eat in remembrance of me."

This Cup holds the promise of life.
