Cross Examination
A rebel a madman, a good man, a prophet, the Messiahl! One man.. so many opinions, so many reactions, so many hopes, so many fears.
The life of Jesus Christ drew many different views as to who He was. At His death at Calvary there were many people gathered friends, family, followers, enemies, soldiers, criminals, thieves
each with their own view of this man as He faced death.
“Cross Examination” is a musical presentation of the events of the last few hours of Jesus’ life. It seeks to look through the eyes of the main characters to see who they thought Jesus really was.
As each of them watches Jesus die their views are challenged – they face a “Cross Examination” of their preconceived ideas.
We put them on trial and let them present their own verdict as to who Jesus really was…is.
