Episode Synopsis

The story of Jesus’s last week of life is uncomfortable. A God who sends his son to die because humanity is evil is uncomfortable. And possibly wrong, at least with the emphasis that has been placed on it. Focusing on Jesus’s life this week will be uncomfortable. A king who rides a donkey. A king who dines with a hodgepodge of people. A king who washes feet as a slave. Take all the things that can make most of us uncomfortable and watch Jesus do them naturally. Jesus makes us uncomfortable because he calls to be in relationship with people unlike ourselves.
