Introduction
|
||
|
||
AS JESUS and his accusers started off to see Herod, the Master turned to the
|
||
Apostle John and said: "John, you can do no more for me. Go to my mother and
|
||
bring her to see me ere I die." When John heard his Master's request, although
|
||
reluctant to leave him alone among his enemies, he hastened off to Bethany,
|
||
where the entire family of Jesus was assembled in waiting at the home of Martha
|
||
and Mary, the sisters of Lazarus whom Jesus raised from the dead.
|
||
|
||
Several times during the morning, messengers had brought news to Martha and
|
||
Mary concerning the progress of Jesus' trial. But the family of Jesus did not
|
||
reach Bethany until just a few minutes before John arrived bearing the request
|
||
of Jesus to see his mother before he was put to death. After John Zebedee had
|
||
told them all that had happened since the midnight arrest of Jesus, Mary his
|
||
mother went at once in the company of John to see her eldest son. By the time
|
||
Mary and John reached the city, Jesus, accompanied by the Roman soldiers who
|
||
were to crucify him, had already arrived at Golgotha.
|
||
|
||
When Mary the mother of Jesus started out with John to go to her son, his
|
||
sister Ruth refused to remain behind with the rest of the family. Since she was
|
||
determined to accompany her mother, her brother Jude went with her. The rest of
|
||
the Master's family remained in Bethany under the direction of James, and
|
||
almost every hour the messengers of David Zebedee brought them reports
|
||
concerning the progress of that terrible business of putting to death their
|
||
eldest brother, Jesus of Nazareth.
|
||
|
||
1. THE END OF JUDAS ISCARIOT
|
||
|
||
It was about half past eight o'clock this Friday morning when the hearing of
|
||
Jesus before Pilate was ended and the Master was placed in the custody of the
|
||
Roman soldiers who were to crucify him. As soon as the Romans took possession
|
||
of Jesus, the captain of the Jewish guards marched with his men back to their
|
||
temple headquarters. The chief priest and his Sanhedrist associates followed
|
||
close behind the guards, going directly to their usual meeting place in the
|
||
hall of hewn stone in the temple. Here they found many other members of the
|
||
Sanhedrin waiting to learn what had been done with Jesus. As Caiaphas was
|
||
engaged in making his report to the Sanhedrin regarding the trial and
|
||
condemnation of Jesus, Judas appeared before them to claim his reward for the
|
||
part he had played in his Master's arrest and sentence of death.
|
||
|
||
All of these Jews loathed Judas; they looked upon the betrayer with only
|
||
feelings of utter contempt. Throughout the trial of Jesus before Caiaphas and
|
||
during his appearance before Pilate, Judas was pricked in his conscience about
|
||
|
||
top of page - 1998
|
||
|
||
his traitorous conduct. And he was also beginning to become somewhat
|
||
disillusioned regarding the reward he was to receive as payment for his
|
||
services as Jesus' betrayer. He did not like the coolness and aloofness of the
|
||
Jewish authorities; nevertheless, he expected to be liberally rewarded for his
|
||
cowardly conduct. He anticipated being called before the full meeting of the
|
||
Sanhedrin and there hearing himself eulogized while they conferred upon him
|
||
suitable honors in token of the great service which he flattered himself he had
|
||
rendered his nation. Imagine, therefore, the great surprise of this egotistic
|
||
traitor when a servant of the high priest, tapping him on the shoulder, called
|
||
him just outside the hall and said: "Judas, I have been appointed to pay you
|
||
for the betrayal of Jesus. Here is your reward." And thus speaking, the servant
|
||
of Caiaphas handed Judas a bag containing thirty pieces of silver--the current
|
||
price of a good, healthy slave.
|
||
|
||
Judas was stunned, dumfounded. He rushed back to enter the hall but was
|
||
debarred by the doorkeeper. He wanted to appeal to the Sanhedrin, but they
|
||
would not admit him. Judas could not believe that these rulers of the Jews
|
||
would allow him to betray his friends and his Master and then offer him as a
|
||
reward thirty pieces of silver. He was humiliated, disillusioned, and utterly
|
||
crushed. He walked away from the temple, as it were, in a trance. He
|
||
automatically dropped the money bag in his deep pocket, that same pocket
|
||
wherein he had so long carried the bag containing the apostolic funds. And he
|
||
wandered out through the city after the crowds who were on their way to witness
|
||
the crucifixions.
|
||
|
||
From a distance Judas saw them raise the cross piece with Jesus nailed thereon,
|
||
and upon sight of this he rushed back to the temple and, forcing his way past
|
||
the doorkeeper, found himself standing in the presence of the Sanhedrin, which
|
||
was still in session. The betrayer was well-nigh breathless and highly
|
||
distraught, but he managed to stammer out these words: "I have sinned in that I
|
||
have betrayed innocent blood. You have insulted me. You have offered me as a
|
||
reward for my service, money--the price of a slave. I repent that I have done
|
||
this; here is your money. I want to escape the guilt of this deed."
|
||
|
||
When the rulers of the Jews heard Judas, they scoffed at him. One of them
|
||
sitting near where Judas stood, motioned that he should leave the hall and
|
||
said: "Your Master has already been put to death by the Romans, and as for your
|
||
guilt, what is that to us? See you to that--and begone!"
|
||
|
||
As Judas left the Sanhedrin chamber, he removed the thirty pieces of silver
|
||
from the bag and threw them broadcast over the temple floor. When the betrayer
|
||
left the temple, he was almost beside himself. Judas was now passing through
|
||
the experience of the realization of the true nature of sin. All the glamor,
|
||
fascination, and intoxication of wrongdoing had vanished. Now the evildoer
|
||
stood alone and face to face with the judgment verdict of his disillusioned and
|
||
disappointed soul. Sin was bewitching and adventurous in the committing, but
|
||
now must the harvest of the naked and unromantic facts be faced.
|
||
|
||
This onetime ambassador of the kingdom of heaven on earth now walked through
|
||
the streets of Jerusalem, forsaken and alone. His despair was desperate and
|
||
well-nigh absolute. On he journeyed through the city and outside the walls, on
|
||
down into the terrible solitude of the valley of Hinnom, where he climbed up
|
||
the steep rocks and, taking the girdle of his cloak, fastened one end to a
|
||
small tree, tied the other about his neck, and cast himself over the precipice.
|
||
Ere he was dead, the knot which his nervous hands had tied gave way, and the
|
||
betrayer's body was dashed to pieces as it fell on the jagged rocks below.

|
||
2. THE MASTER'S ATTITUDE
|
||
|
||
When Jesus was arrested, he knew that his work on earth, in the likeness of
|
||
mortal flesh, was finished. He fully understood the sort of death he would die,
|
||
and he was little concerned with the details of his so-called trials.
|
||
|
||
Before the Sanhedrist court Jesus declined to make replies to the testimony of
|
||
perjured witnesses. There was but one question which would always elicit an
|
||
answer, whether asked by friend or foe, and that was the one concerning the
|
||
nature and divinity of his mission on earth. When asked if he were the Son of
|
||
God, he unfailingly made reply. He steadfastly refused to speak when in the
|
||
presence of the curious and wicked Herod. Before Pilate he spoke only when he
|
||
thought that Pilate or some other sincere person might be helped to a better
|
||
knowledge of the truth by what he said. Jesus had taught his apostles the
|
||
uselessness of casting their pearls before swine, and he now dared to practice
|
||
what he had taught. His conduct at this time exemplified the patient submission
|
||
of the human nature coupled with the majestic silence and solemn dignity of the
|
||
divine nature. He was altogether willing to discuss with Pilate any question
|
||
related to the political charges brought against him--any question which he
|
||
recognized as belonging to the governor's jurisdiction.
|
||
|
||
Jesus was convinced that it was the will of the Father that he submit himself
|
||
to the natural and ordinary course of human events just as every other mortal
|
||
creature must, and therefore he refused to employ even his purely human powers
|
||
of persuasive eloquence to influence the outcome of the machinations of his
|
||
socially nearsighted and spiritually blinded fellow mortals. Although Jesus
|
||
lived and died on Urantia, his whole human career, from first to last, was a
|
||
spectacle designed to influence and instruct the entire universe of his
|
||
creation and unceasing upholding.
|
||
|
||
These shortsighted Jews clamored unseemlily for the Master's death while he
|
||
stood there in awful silence looking upon the death scene of a nation--his
|
||
earthly father's own people.
|
||
|
||
Jesus had acquired that type of human character which could preserve its
|
||
composure and assert its dignity in the face of continued and gratuitous
|
||
insult. He could not be intimidated. When first assaulted by the servant of
|
||
Annas, he had only suggested the propriety of calling witnesses who might duly
|
||
testify against him.
|
||
|
||
From first to last, in his so-called trial before Pilate, the onlooking
|
||
celestial hosts could not refrain from broadcasting to the universe the
|
||
depiction of the scene of "Pilate on trial before Jesus."
|
||
|
||
When before Caiaphas, and when all the perjured testimony had broken down,
|
||
Jesus did not hesitate to answer the question of the chief priest, thereby
|
||
providing in his own testimony that which they desired as a basis for
|
||
convicting him of blasphemy.
|
||
|
||
The Master never displayed the least interest in Pilate's well-meant but
|
||
halfhearted efforts to effect his release. He really pitied Pilate and
|
||
sincerely endeavored to enlighten his darkened mind. He was wholly passive to
|
||
all the Roman governor's appeals to the Jews to withdraw their criminal charges
|
||
against him. Throughout the whole sorrowful ordeal he bore himself with simple
|
||
dignity and unostentatious majesty. He would not so much as cast reflections of
|
||
in-
|
||
|
||
top of page - 2000
|
||
|
||
sincerity upon his would-be murderers when they asked if he were "king of the
|
||
Jews." With but little qualifying explanation he accepted the designation,
|
||
knowing that, while they had chosen to reject him, he would be the last to
|
||
afford them real national leadership, even in a spiritual sense.
|
||
|
||
Jesus said little during these trials, but he said enough to show all mortals
|
||
the kind of human character man can perfect in partnership with God and to
|
||
reveal to all the universe the manner in which God can become manifest in the
|
||
life of the creature when such a creature truly chooses to do the will of the
|
||
Father, thus becoming an active son of the living God.
|
||
|
||
His love for ignorant mortals is fully disclosed by his patience and great
|
||
self-possession in the face of the jeers, blows, and buffetings of the coarse
|
||
soldiers and the unthinking servants. He was not even angry when they
|
||
blindfolded him and, derisively striking him in the face, exclaimed: "Prophesy
|
||
to us who it was that struck you."
|
||
|
||
Pilate spoke more truly than he knew when, after Jesus had been scourged, he
|
||
presented him before the multitude, exclaiming, "Behold the man!" Indeed, the
|
||
fear-ridden Roman governor little dreamed that at just that moment the universe
|
||
stood at attention, gazing upon this unique scene of its beloved Sovereign thus
|
||
subjected in humiliation to the taunts and blows of his darkened and degraded
|
||
mortal subjects. And as Pilate spoke, there echoed throughout all Nebadon,
|
||
"Behold God and man! " Throughout a universe, untold millions have ever since
|
||
that day continued to behold that man, while the God of Havona, the supreme
|
||
ruler of the universe of universes, accepts the man of Nazareth as the
|
||
satisfaction of the ideal of the mortal creatures of this local universe of
|
||
time and space. In his matchless life he never failed to reveal God to man.
|
||
Now, in these final episodes of his mortal career and in his subsequent death,
|
||
he made a new and touching revelation of man to God.
|
||
|
||
3. THE DEPENDABLE DAVID ZEBEDEE
|
||
|
||
Shortly after Jesus was turned over to the Roman soldiers at the conclusion of
|
||
the hearing before Pilate, a detachment of the temple guards hastened out to
|
||
Gethsemane to disperse or arrest the followers of the Master. But long before
|
||
their arrival these followers had scattered. The apostles had retired to
|
||
designated hiding places; the Greeks had separated and gone to various homes in
|
||
Jerusalem; the other disciples had likewise disappeared. David Zebedee believed
|
||
that Jesus' enemies would return; so he early removed some five or six tents up
|
||
the ravine near where the Master so often retired to pray and worship. Here he
|
||
proposed to hide and at the same time maintain a center, or co-ordinating
|
||
station, for his messenger service. David had hardly left the camp when the
|
||
temple guards arrived. Finding no one there, they contented themselves with
|
||
burning the camp and then hastened back to the temple. On hearing their report,
|
||
the Sanhedrin was satisfied that the followers of Jesus were so thoroughly
|
||
frightened and subdued that there would be no danger of an uprising or any
|
||
attempt to rescue Jesus from the hands of his executioners. They were at last
|
||
able to breathe easily, and so they adjourned, every man going his way to
|
||
prepare for the Passover.
|
||
|
||
As soon as Jesus was turned over to the Roman soldiers by Pilate for
|
||
crucifixion, a messenger hastened away to Gethsemane to inform David, and
|
||
within five minutes runners were on their way to Bethsaida, Pella,
|
||
Philadelphia, Sidon,
|
||
|
||
top of page - 2001
|
||
|
||
Shechem, Hebron, Damascus, and Alexandria. And these messengers carried the
|
||
news that Jesus was about to be crucified by the Romans at the insistent behest
|
||
of the rulers of the Jews.
|
||
|
||
Throughout this tragic day, until the message finally went forth that the
|
||
Master had been laid in the tomb, David sent messengers about every half hour
|
||
with reports to the apostles, the Greeks, and Jesus' earthly family, assembled
|
||
at the home of Lazarus in Bethany. When the messengers departed with the word
|
||
that Jesus had been buried, David dismissed his corps of local runners for the
|
||
Passover celebration and for the coming Sabbath of rest, instructing them to
|
||
report to him quietly on Sunday morning at the home of Nicodemus, where he
|
||
proposed to go in hiding for a few days with Andrew and Simon Peter.
|
||
|
||
This peculiar-minded David Zebedee was the only one of the leading disciples of
|
||
Jesus who was inclined to take a literal and plain matter-of-fact view of the
|
||
Master's assertion that he would die and "rise again on the third day." David
|
||
had once heard him make this prediction and, being of a literal turn of mind,
|
||
now proposed to assemble his messengers early Sunday morning at the home of
|
||
Nicodemus so that they would be on hand to spread the news in case Jesus rose
|
||
from the dead. David soon discovered that none of Jesus' followers were looking
|
||
for him to return so soon from the grave; therefore did he say little about his
|
||
belief and nothing about the mobilization of all his messenger force on early
|
||
Sunday morning except to the runners who had been dispatched on Friday forenoon
|
||
to distant cities and believer centers.
|
||
|
||
And so these followers of Jesus, scattered throughout Jerusalem and its
|
||
environs, that night partook of the Passover and the following day remained in
|
||
seclusion.
|
||
|
||
4. PREPARATION FOR THE CRUCIFIXION
|
||
|
||
After Pilate had washed his hands before the multitude, thus seeking to escape
|
||
the guilt of delivering up an innocent man to be crucified just because he
|
||
feared to resist the clamor of the rulers of the Jews, he ordered the Master
|
||
turned over to the Roman soldiers and gave the word to their captain that he
|
||
was to be crucified immediately. Upon taking charge of Jesus, the soldiers led
|
||
him back into the courtyard of the praetorium, and after removing the robe
|
||
which Herod had put on him, they dressed him in his own garments. These
|
||
soldiers mocked and derided him, but they did not inflict further physical
|
||
punishment. Jesus was now alone with these Roman soldiers. His friends were in
|
||
hiding; his enemies had gone their way; even John Zebedee was no longer by his
|
||
side.
|
||
|
||
It was a little after eight o'clock when Pilate turned Jesus over to the
|
||
soldiers and a little before nine o'clock when they started for the scene of
|
||
the crucifixion. During this period of more than half an hour Jesus never spoke
|
||
a word. The executive business of a great universe was practically at a
|
||
standstill. Gabriel and the chief rulers of Nebadon were either assembled here
|
||
on Urantia, or else they were closely attending upon the space reports of the
|
||
archangels in an effort to keep advised as to what was happening to the Son of
|
||
Man on Urantia.
|
||
|
||
By the time the soldiers were ready to depart with Jesus for Golgotha, they had
|
||
begun to be impressed by his unusual composure and extraordinary dignity, by
|
||
his uncomplaining silence.
|
||
|
||
Much of the delay in starting off with Jesus for the site of the crucifixion
|
||
was due to the last-minute decision of the captain to take along two thieves
|
||
who had
|
||
|
||
top of page - 2002
|
||
|
||
been condemned to die; since Jesus was to be crucified that morning, the Roman
|
||
captain thought these two might just as well die with him as wait for the end
|
||
of the Passover festivities.
|
||
|
||
As soon as the thieves could be made ready, they were led into the courtyard,
|
||
where they gazed upon Jesus, one of them for the first time, but the other had
|
||
often heard him speak, both in the temple and many months before at the Pella
|
||
camp.
|
||
|
||
5. JESUS' DEATH IN RELATION TO THE PASSOVER
|
||
|
||
There is no direct relation between the death of Jesus and the Jewish Passover.
|
||
True, the Master did lay down his life in the flesh on this day, the day of the
|
||
preparation for the Jewish Passover, and at about the time of the sacrificing
|
||
of the Passover lambs in the temple. But this coincidental occurrence does not
|
||
in any manner indicate that the death of the Son of Man on earth has any
|
||
connection with the Jewish sacrificial system. Jesus was a Jew, but as the Son
|
||
of Man he was a mortal of the realms. The events already narrated and leading
|
||
up to this hour of the Master's impending crucifixion are sufficient to
|
||
indicate that his death at about this time was a purely natural and man-managed
|
||
affair.
|
||
|
||
It was man and not God who planned and executed the death of Jesus on the
|
||
cross. True, the Father refused to interfere with the march of human events on
|
||
Urantia, but the Father in Paradise did not decree, demand, or require the
|
||
death of his Son as it was carried out on earth. It is a fact that in some
|
||
manner, sooner or later, Jesus would have had to divest himself of his mortal
|
||
body, his incarnation in the flesh, but he could have executed such a task in
|
||
countless ways without dying on a cross between two thieves. All of this was
|
||
man's doing, not God's.
|
||
|
||
At the time of the Master's baptism he had already completed the technique of
|
||
the required experience on earth and in the flesh which was necessary for the
|
||
completion of his seventh and last universe bestowal. At this very time Jesus'
|
||
duty on earth was done. All the life he lived thereafter, and even the manner
|
||
of his death, was a purely personal ministry on his part for the welfare and
|
||
uplifting of his mortal creatures on this world and on other worlds.
|
||
|
||
The gospel of the good news that mortal man may, by faith, become
|
||
spirit-conscious that he is a son of God, is not dependent on the death of
|
||
Jesus. True, indeed, all this gospel of the kingdom has been tremendously
|
||
illuminated by the Master's death, but even more so by his life.
|
||
|
||
All that the Son of Man said or did on earth greatly embellished the doctrines
|
||
of sonship with God and of the brotherhood of men, but these essential
|
||
relationships of God and men are inherent in the universe facts of God's love
|
||
for his creatures and the innate mercy of the divine Sons. These touching and
|
||
divinely beautiful relations between man and his Maker on this world and on all
|
||
others throughout the universe of universes, have existed from eternity; and
|
||
they are not in any sense dependent on these periodic bestowal enactments of
|
||
the Creator Sons of God, who thus assume the nature and likeness of their
|
||
created intelligences as a part of the price which they must pay for the final
|
||
acquirement of unlimited sovereignty over their respective local universes.
|
||
|
||
The Father in heaven loved mortal man on earth just as much before the life and
|
||
death of Jesus on Urantia as he did after this transcendent exhibition of the
|
||
copartnership of man and God. This mighty transaction of the incarnation of the
|
||
God of Nebadon as a man on Urantia could not augment the attributes of the
|
||
|
||
top of page - 2003
|
||
|
||
eternal, infinite, and universal Father, but it did enrich and enlighten all
|
||
other administrators and creatures of the universe of Nebadon. While the Father
|
||
in heaven loves us no more because of this bestowal of Michael, all other
|
||
celestial intelligences do. And this is because Jesus not only made a
|
||
revelation of God to man, but he also likewise made a new revelation of man to
|
||
the Gods and to the celestial intelligences of the universe of universes.
|
||
|
||
Jesus is not about to die as a sacrifice for sin. He is not going to atone for
|
||
the inborn moral guilt of the human race. Mankind has no such racial guilt
|
||
before God. Guilt is purely a matter of personal sin and knowing, deliberate
|
||
rebellion against the will of the Father and the administration of his Sons.
|
||
|
||
Sin and rebellion have nothing to do with the fundamental bestowal plan of the
|
||
Paradise Sons of God, albeit it does appear to us that the salvage plan is a
|
||
provisional feature of the bestowal plan.
|
||
|
||
The salvation of God for the mortals of Urantia would have been just as
|
||
effective and unerringly certain if Jesus had not been put to death by the
|
||
cruel hands of ignorant mortals. If the Master had been favorably received by
|
||
the mortals of earth and had departed from Urantia by the voluntary
|
||
relinquishment of his life in the flesh, the fact of the love of God and the
|
||
mercy of the Son--the fact of sonship with God--would have in no wise been
|
||
affected. You mortals are the sons of God, and only one thing is required to
|
||
make such a truth factual in your personal experience, and that is your
|
||
spirit-born faith.
