Your post was very well thought out and made some excellent points. As I was reading I kept waiting for you to get to the punch line which is even though we were taught Jesus died on Friday and we now know it was Wednesday, all the implications of the Passion week in our personal lived still stand. Unfortunately, you missed the mark.

The story is so familiar that we forget it could have been different. If the Jews had not rejected Jesus, if Judas had not betrayed him or changed his mind. if the Sanhedrim had got on along, if Pilate had listened to his wife(or Adam not to his) .All had free will, and because God foresees what “will happen” does not mean it must so happen. Perhaps if we had not been caught in traffic on our way to work and spewed out hatted of our fellow drivers as intense as any of Hitler’s rants against the Jews.
