and trial again. You know this already, but for some reason I noticed it: He was not convicted. Of anything. At all.
All those discussions: - The Jews killed Jesus. Yada yada. - The Romans killed Jesus. Yada yada.
Irrelevant. He was convicted of nothing. Instead, the two parties involved - Jewish leadership and local Roman govt - were threatened enough by Him to want him gone. Just because He was Him, He was a threat to human manufactured status. So, it was us. We'd do it again. Except that we've seen Him 'as though slain'.
