The Madness of the Mob: Crucifying Jesus Again and Again

A Hutu mother once confessed that the worst part of the Rwandan genocide was killing her neighbor—the same man she used to drink with, whose cattle grazed her land like family. How does someone go from sharing life with a neighbor to taking it? In this Good Friday episode, we reflect on the terrifying spirit of the mob that has haunted history—from the lynching trees of America, to the crosses of Rome, to the streets of Rwanda. Jesus’ crucifixion wasn’t a one-time event; it’s a mirror showing us what we’re capable of. Until we crown Christ as King, we’ll keep handing out clubs.
