It was definitely the wrath of the Romans because the Jews had become so odious to them. The Jews had fed and stoked the fires of their own destruction.

No doubt they saw his scars .....and it was his words that 'made their hearts burn' What I also find riveting is HOW Jesus unfolded the scriptures to them. Have you ever heard someone presenting the scriptures where your heart burns within you?

We have many preachers on this forum Jesusfollower.....self appointed ones might I add. It is near impossible to have a real conversation with a preacher, mainly because they set themselves up as knowing with the assumption that the reader/ listener is unknowing. I hope real conversations are...
