“The power that Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate thought they had over Jesus
Turned out to be illusory.
The Passion story unveils another kind of power at work in the world, and in the Word.
When Jesus said, “All power is given to me in heaven and on earth,”
He was not talking about domination and control
but about solidarity and liberation.
At enormous cost
Jesus confronted the life-denying forces of his day and entered death,
showing us that our lives too can confront and overcome the forces of death in our day. “
From the Mission Statement of the Ecumenical Good Friday Walk for Justice in Toronto, Canada.
