Good Friday ahead, 2 videos by Stephen M. Miller
I CREATED TWO NEW VIDEOS recently to help folks get a better understanding about what Jesus went through on Thursday night, when he got arrested, and on Friday, when he got crucified.
If you haven’t seem them yet, I’ll put the links below.
In fact, I’ll do it even if you have seen them.
This is an add-on feature. I don’t normally release articles on Sunday. But this feels like a good idea for a Sunday.
DEATH OF JESUS
This nine-minute video is a short spin-off of the longer, more wrenching video TWO DEATHS.
TWO DEATHS
This is emotionally tough to watch, especially if you have lost a loved one. It runs 24 minutes. But the analytical data on YouTube confirms what many have told me: Once you start watching, it’s hard to stop. So be careful when you pick your location.

Did Jesus script his Palm Sunday ride? by Stephen M. Miller
Q Jesus rode a colt—a young donkey—into Jerusalem to fulfill prophecies, according to Matthew’s version of this story (Matthew 21:4-5). In one prophecy, Isaiah talks about a king coming into Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:11). In another, Zachariah describes the king as humble and riding on a young donkey (Zechariah 9:9). Some Jews apparently associated this with the Messiah they hoped would come and free them from the Roman Empire. It seems as though Jesus wanted to send the message that he was the Messiah. Do you think he cheated a little bit in the way he manipulated this event, by riding into Jerusalem in a way that fit the script?A Another way of looking at this is that he saw the script and he followed it, as best he could. Most of the script, however, was in the hands of other people people—for example the story of his crucifixion. There was no way for him to find the props for that part of the story.
