The Suffering Servant

April 7, 2023 | Han Choi BF ‘24

As Christians, this is our defining heartcry—to be more like Jesus. The original Greek word Christianos (Christ meaning “the anointed” and tian meaning “little”) literally translates to “little Christs,” or “little anointed ones.” We are meant to be little Jesuses.

Terror at the Cross, Transformed

April 15, 2022 | By Jadan Anderson MC’22

On that Friday, we looked at Jesus on the cross and were appalled. From what did we avert our eyes?

We Call This Friday Good

By Aidan Luke Stoddart ’21. Aidan is a sophomore in Eliot concentrating in the Comparative Study of Religion.

Jesus was reviled, oppressed, and afflicted. We led him like a lamb to the slaughter, to crush him with pain. He who had done no violence himself became an innocent victim of our own violence, and in spite of that, we call this Friday good.

Five Steps to Good Friday

By John Daoud, Pauli Murray College ‘21.

Glory be unto God, for it is unto Him we give thanks for having brought us to this blessed Holy Week, in which we commemorate the Passion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. What follows are just a few short reflections I have on the orders of the week, per the tradition of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The translation used is NRSV.
