“…the Passover meal would not be eaten until the Friday evening, which meant that Jesus was dying on the cross at the very time that the Passover lambs were being killed… The central importance which Jesus attached to His death is underlined by the fact that He was actually giving instructions for the annual celebration of the Passover to be replaced by His own supper.”

“The Lord‘s supper, which was instituted by Jesus, & which is the only regular commemorative act authorized by him, dramatizes neither his birth nor his life, neither his words nor his works, but only his death… It was by his death that he wished above all else to be remembered. There is then…no Christianity without the cross. If the cross is not central to our religion, ours is not the religion of Jesus.“

“For there is blood on our hands. Before we can begin to see the cross as something done FOR us (leading us to faith and worship), we have to see it as something done BY us (leading us to repentance).”

“The same evil [of the Jewish leaders] influences our own contemporary attitudes to Jesus. He is still, as CS Lewis called Him, ‘a transcendental interferer.’ We resent His intrusions into our privacy, His demand for our homage, His expectation of our obedience.”

“We watch [Pilate] wriggling, as he attempts to release Jesus and pacify the Jews… It is easy to condemn Pilate and overlook our own equally devious behavior. Anxious to avoid the pain of a wholehearted commitment to Christ, we too search for convenient subterfuges.”
