Think of the world divided into three camps: those that don’t believe it and don’t care; those that believe it but if asked what difference it makes would be hard pressed to give an answer; and lastly, those to whom it means everything. In the next three weeks we will consider the evidence for the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth and explore the ways that each can make a significant difference in our lives. The evidence for the death of Jesus includes:

“A w a y w i t h h i m ! C r u c i f y h i m ! ” ...Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus away. Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha). There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them.
