OPENING SONG: ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING
(I'll do the welcome when I start my message)

Well, the thought I had was this…WHAT were all the people coming to look at?
And then later on, the following week, when Jesus was tried in the mock trial, and led off to be executed…once again, there were those crowds that gathered again…what were they there to look at?
Why did they come?
Did they just come for the sensationalism of watching someone being executed on a R ...
