Why in the world would Matthew or Mark or Luke or John even bother to bring us a detailed account of a first century Judean day laborer turned rabbi who was rejected by His own people and executed by Rome…? Why is that even a story worth telling…? And why would “many” others try to tell us that story as well…?
The answer is simple, because something extraordinary happened. Something extraordinary that had implications for all future generations. Something extraordinary and good had happened on behalf of not just the people in Judea, but on behalf of all of the people in all of the whole world. From then on.
