WHERE WOULD
JESUS BANK?
Jesus acted with ferocious and bold integrity
when he threw the money changers out of the temple.
Needless to say, he hiccuped their cash flows on what
otherwise would have been a big grossing day. Their
business model threatened, the priests who managed the money
changers insisted that the Romans crucify Jesus. The Romans
tried to pawn the problem off on the local king, Herod, who
ducked and sent Jesus back to the Romans. The Romans, still
looking for a way out, tried a flogging. That did not work.
The priests meanwhile had succeeded in persuading the crowd
to support them and scapegoat Jesus. Thirsting for a
crucifixion, the crowd voted to set the criminal Barabbas
free instead of Jesus.
Jesus died because the crowd voted
for the criminal enterprise. The crowd voted for the priests
and their rich endowments and their alliance with the money
changers.
It's 2000 Years Later and We're
Still Voting for the Criminals
