Me someone obsessed with Jesus Christ Superstar: ‘so it’s just a knock off Jesus Christ superstar but they just turned it into a jukebox musical .’

My partner, a Dutch person who watches The Passion every Easter: ‘No,,, well yes kind of’

Two moments later, my partner: ‘they also do a sequel on Ascension day too! Now shhh let’s watch these clips from the past 5 years of the same scene’

Daisuke's Notes on Venom's Concept and Design:

Like Millia, he was raised in the Assassin's Guild from an early age. He adores Zato.

He was set up to be a long-reach character and flier. I wondered what kind of character I should make. Originally, he had a cello. He actually had a fan for a weapon before Anji did. He also had a large cross, which I thought was the best concept, however, we were told that it was OK to have it as a part of his design, but not to hit anyone with it. When I was struggling, I went out to play games as a distraction. One time, as we were playing billiards, we talked about how interesting it would be to have a fighter who fights with a pool cue. But I thought the character would be too boring with just the cue alone, so I made it so that his hair also covered his face and added a mark on it with a bit of paint. Since the head had such a strong personality, I wanted to keep the body simple. However, I wanted to change the overall shape of the body to make it similar to Zato's, so that's why the legs are like that. As for the pants design, if I wanted to keep it simple, I would have made each leg the same color, but that would've made his figure appear more naked. To find a way around this, I made one leg light and the other dark to add more of a mysterious flair.

"Love is not what we do, but how we do what we do.  Love is found in the most ordinary things, not in grand gestures and elaborate mannerisms.   It resides in small daily acts of kindness and fellowship, done lovingly and with care, for His sake.  It is how we carry our cross, not in front of a cheering crowd, but in the quiet moments, and the little things, while walking with Him."

Jesus Christ has shown the greatest act of love in the world, in giving His life for everyone - not just the good, but also the bad. He wants everyone to repent and turn to Him, so that they would be delivered from the great judgment coming to the world. As He said in John 15:13 - "No one has greater love than this, that one would lay down his life for his friends." He also told us of everything that would happen to us until His Second Coming. He comforts us all the time when the glorious arrival of the King commences. This world will try everything to distract us from the salvation Jesus has prepared for all - from discouragement through disasters, to intoxication through pleasures of this world. We were forewarned of all these, even disappointment from other people who could betray us for following Christ. This world is evil, but God is good and He wants the best for us, which will never end, u like this world and all its offers. I pray you understand the love God shows us, and turn to Him in order for His joy to be fulfilled, and your portion of the promise to be firm!

So Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped. The soldiers, having braided a crown from thorns, set it on his head, threw a purple robe over him, and approached him with, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Then they greeted him with slaps in the face.

Pilate went back out again and said to them, “I present him to you, but I want you to know that I do not find him guilty of any crime.” Just then Jesus came out wearing the thorn crown and purple robe.

Pilate announced, “Here he is: the Man.”

When the high priests and police saw him, they shouted in a frenzy, “Crucify! Crucify!”

Pilate told them, “You take him. You crucify him. I find nothing wrong with him.”

The Jews answered, “We have a law, and by that law he must die because he claimed to be the Son of God.”

When Pilate heard this, he became even more scared. He went back into the palace and said to Jesus, “Where did you come from?”

Jesus gave no answer.

Pilate said, “You won’t talk? Don’t you know that I have the authority to pardon you, and the authority to—crucify you?”

Jesus said, “You haven’t a shred of authority over me except what has been given you from heaven. That’s why the one who betrayed me to you has committed a far greater fault.”

At this, Pilate tried his best to pardon him, but the Jews shouted him down: “If you pardon this man, you’re no friend of Caesar��s. Anyone setting himself up as ‘king’ defies Caesar.”

When Pilate heard those words, he led Jesus outside. He sat down at the judgment seat in the area designated Stone Court (in Hebrew, Gabbatha). It was the preparation day for Passover. The hour was noon. Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your king.”

They shouted back, “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!”

Pilate said, “I am to crucify your king?”

The high priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”

Pilate caved in to their demand. He turned him over to be crucified.

They took Jesus away. Carrying his cross, Jesus went out to the place called Skull Hill (the name in Hebrew is Golgotha), where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, Jesus in the middle.
