With so many explicit parallels between these two events, it’s easy to see why some interpret Jesus’ Passion as an apocalyptic event. The elevated importance of Jesus’ Passion to early Christians is evident in these connections. For the Church, Jesus’ saving work began a new era in history, opened to the Kingdom of God and looking ahead to the end of the world.
- How might these connections have shaped early Christian understanding of what it meant to be a disciple?
- How do you make sense of a 2000-year delay in the apocalypse?
