The news is being dominated by condemnation of a religious figure that is becoming so popular among the masses that he is getting the attention of two powerful political forces. The two political forces oppose each other, but they are united in their fear of this rising religious figure that has become a growing threat to their political power over the masses. The leaders on both sides felt this religious leader was a challenge to the corrupt ruling class.
The biggest concern was the power this religious figure was gaining with his growing support from the masses, and the leaders from both political sides were afraid of massive protests if they tried to arrest him.
The mainstream religious and political leaders expressed contempt for this renegade religious leader because of his general disregard for established laws of religion and politics. And because of the overt promotion of his specific religious beliefs, which were contrary to mainstream religion, he was further accused of blasphemy. A whistleblower among his closest allies turned him into authorities.
After several court appearances, some held in secret at night to avoid the possibility of violent protests, this religious figure was convicted and sentenced to death. So threatened were the political parties by his presence, his execution was expedited.
The execution was savage, and a few were witness to his last breath.
Following his death, the truth was discovered about this religious figure who challenged the religious and political conventional wisdom at the time; and even those who feared his power and condemned him to death came to recognize that they had executed the Son of God - Jesus Christ…..
