But their loyalty is short lived as we discover in the Passion story. Jesus, the hero is soon deserted, betrayed, denied and left to face humiliation and death alone. We can all see ourselves in the Passion. There are times when everything is going smoothly, then times when we struggle, when we’re confused, upset, maybe even turn our backs on God, we cannot find the courage to stand up for our beliefs. The Passion should make us stop and think, it shows us how Jesus responded to what was done to Him. He absorbed all the violence and returned it as love and forgiveness. This is the victory of love over all the powers of destruction. Even when they nailed His hands and feet He was loving. It helps to think about that, when we are going through hard times. “Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation”.
