An integral part of the Easter season is the story of Jesus' crucifixion. The allure of the passion isn’t that Jesus died, but that he died in one of the most horrific and gruesome ways possible. His eventual resurrection reads like a postscript to the tale. I wonder if the story would still resonate if he had died in some other fashion? Would Christ’s sacrifice be any less significant if he had been bored to death watching a Gilligan’s Island marathon or died after eating some bad clams?
