Jesus came in saying things the religious rulers of the day didn\u2019t like, so they cancelled him all the way.

He wasn\u2019t the first person killed by the rulers of the day because they did not like what he said, and he wasn\u2019t the last, but he is the one who is most remembered.  Because his disciples spread his story and teachings far and wide.  And most of them were killed as well.

And yet they continued to speak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Good Friday. Today billions of people remember the death of Jesus. Some celebrate it.
