Franco Zeffirelli's masterpiece 'Jesus of Nazareth' is as evocative now as when it first aired 45 years ago.

For those looking to reinvigorate their own faith, or perhaps see the stories for the first time, there is no better cinematic option than “Jesus of Nazareth.” It is the kind of film that truly can change (or maybe begin) your relationship with God. This is especially true during the climactic sequence of Jesus’ carrying of the cross and subsequent crucifixion — I would imagine it difficult for all but a few to keep their eyes dry watching that scene. Another powerful quality of “Jesus of Nazareth” is how closely it stays to the New Testament narrative, and how earnestly its makers sought to maintain historical accuracy. There’s at least one thing about “Jesus of Nazareth” that sets it apart from all other film presentations of Christ: it was the realized proposal of a pope. This is itself a great blessing, because watching the film today, the comparative anonymity of Powell makes his portrayal of Jesus all the more interesting and other-worldly.

It's this day that Good Friday commemorates, showcasing Jesus' suffering and death in the 14 Stations of the Cross. It symbolizes Jesus' suffering in having to carry His own cross and serves as a humbling show of faith. St. Mark, as will most other churches, encourage people to stop on by and sit in for a sermon. More so, his actions angered Jewish elders and the establishment. Jesus was interfering with that, saying he was the savior." He was a Galiliean Jew, baptized by John the Baptist, began his own ministry, and eventually came to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

At the beginning of the account (John 18:1-9), John shows us Jesus being arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, a place only a few hundred metres from the ...

The one who was — who is — gave himself in the place of those who are not. Jesus says, “I am”; Peter says, “I am not”. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies”, Jesus said, facing his death, “it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). Jesus did not let Peter fight for him, did not resist his own arrest, and stood before the high priest and Pilate and faced their nonsense, blame-shifting, self-aggrandising and pompous sneering without reacting, because he knew this was his task: to drink the cup the Father had given him. Sometimes, like Pilate, we scoff at the idea of truth, and capitulate with little struggle to the inevitability of injustice. He had told Jesus he would stand by him, that he would be with him to the end. Paradoxically, there is a sense in which Peter was telling the truth when he was asked, “Aren’t you one of this man’s disciples?”, and said, “I am not” (12:17). For he wasn’t, now. “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” Peter denies it, saying, “I am not”. In the face of this reality, Peter simply was not. The contrast is between Jesus’s words here, at his arrest, and the way in which Peter, Jesus’s closest friend, denies Jesus immediately following it (John 18:15-27). A connection between one of Jesus’s disciples and the high priest’s family allows Peter to get into the courtyard of the high priest’s house, where Jesus is being questioned. “When Jesus said, ‘I am’,” John tells us, those who had come to arrest Jesus “drew back and fell to the ground”. The sheer reality of his presence somehow overwhelms them. John tells us that Peter says, “I am not”. It is the exact opposite of what Jesus says in the garden. However, in John’s Greek what Jesus says is simply “I am”.

Jesus was found to be innocent, and he was initially given the punishment that he was to be released after being whipped. Following his arrest, Jesus was taken to the house of Annas, the father-in-law of the high priest, Caiaphas. There he was interrogated with little result and sent bound to Caiaphas the high priest where the Sanhedrin had assembled. On this day, people remember the sufferings of Jesus Christ on behalf of mankind and his greatness in tolerating the inhuman pain for the sins of the world.

Many churches I've attended did not know what to do with the gross injustice and violence of the cross.

What remains for us on Good Friday is an opportunity, an invitation, to participate in what Christ accomplished in human flesh, imitating Christ's obedience and attention to God’s divine work of redemption in the world today. As Cone writes in God of the Oppressed, “the scandal is that the gospel means liberation, that this liberation comes to the poor, and that it gives them the strength and the courage to break the conditions of servitude.” Even more, God — the divine upholder of the common good — is one who is intimately aware of the slave, the poor, the downtrodden, and the disenfranchised because God has come incarnate in the person of Jesus Christ. For the one who exploits, profits dishonestly, manipulates, fosters division, and prioritizes themselves over the whole, the cross reminds us that there is judgment. For Asian American theologian and postcolonial expert Wonhee Anne Joh, the cross is a place of love where God and humanity come together in an unlikely way. Rather than a celebration of suffering, I understand Good Friday to be a much-needed ecclesial reorientation to Jesus’ call to pick up our cross and follow him (Luke 9:23). To be sure, this is not a call into abusive relationships, oppression, or physical death. Said another way: They did not know what to do with the gross injustice and violence of Good Friday and therefore, like many churches in the United States, attempted to offer a positive take on a bad situation.
