As we approach Easter, Tim Chester reflects on John 19.12-22
In 2006, England played in the finals of the World Cup.
Scotland had failed to qualify. So who did the Scots support? According to T-shirts being sold in Glasgow, it was ‘ABE’ – Anyone But England. It’s an example of the good-natured banter beloved of sports fans the world over (though some people chose to take offence). Humanity’s allegiance is much more significant. This is a life-and-death issue. And who does humanity support? ‘ABJ’ – Anyone But Jesus.
