🥚🏺 Some #EasterArchaeology:

According written sources, #crucifixion was a common punishment for criminals and slaves in #AncientRome. By comparison, the archaeological evidence seems almost negligible.

A thought for this Holy Week.

Crucifixion was not about execution; not really. There are much easier ways to accomplish that. It isn't even about torture, though it was torturous.

Crucifixion is a means of shaming someone into oblivion. It is an extreme form of bullying: one in which the Roman goons assert dominance by publicly degrading their victim to death.

There are several clues in the gospel stories that the shame of crucifixion was far worse than we imagine.

I say this not to dwell on suffering. But if you have suffered shame and degradation; if you have been disposed of and mocked and your reputation destroyed; you are in the best of company. They did this to Jesus. And the shaming of this righteous man is turned right back on his bullies in the crucifixion. The mirror Jesus holds up to our lives, that we might see ourselves more truly, now casts that shame back on them.

God is the bullied one, and the one who stands against all bullies. He endures even this for our sake; and in the end, his Father raises him from the grave to new life. He is vindicated. And in him, so are you.

Die Generalprobe gestern lief super. Im Tenor sind wir zu viert. Drei intensive Stunden. War ganz schön erschöpft. Das wird ein eindrucksvolles #Konzert an #Karfreitag. Ruppels #Crucifixion steht auf dem Programm. Posaune und Kontrabass passen sehr gut, habe wir gestern das erste Mal zusammen gehört
