But the brightest day for our salvation. Just watched an interesting documentary about who really was responsible for the crucifiction of our Lord and Savior. The corrupt leaders of the Temple or Pontius Pilate. It was the corrupt priests of the Temple that approached Pontius Pilate and the arrangement was pretty much self rule as long as they paid their taxes. I have spent a lot of time on Jesus’ statement about “Render under to Caesar what is Caesars”. This was a clear way of saying that you should put no idol before God (like an emperor) without provoking the Romans. Plenty of debate around these words from Jesus but that is my interpretation.
