Judas, Tragic Betrayer of Jesus (revised 2)

A despairing man - Judas, who slipped away from Jesus.

I think that Judas’ sad end of life at a rope's end is fairly well known.. was it necessary? why did he?

Jesus, the Scroll and the His Avoidance (revised2)

One day Jesus went back to Nazareth and to the synagogue there.  He read from their Isaiah scroll (amazing example to be seen today). The synagogue time ended with a local Nazareth crowd wanting to eliminate him.

Jesus the Prophet - the Messiah - the King!

From very early Jesus was seen as king. Jesus claimed a kingdom, not of this world.  He is king of his kingdom. He has and welcomes servants (followers) but his retinue is unique.  "The Kingdom of God/Heaven" was a major topic for Jesus. At the time many wrong (human) ideas about God's kingdom were prevalent. Jesus rejected use of force or compulsion.
