Not to get too religious, but if you look around the world at non-Christian believing countries, life ain't so good, would there be a U.S. ,would we all be Muslim, Hindu,? Would Christ be accepted at all?

@naturelover97163 жыл бұрын
@@crimsonmaverick8237 I think if you take away the red, devil like scenery of this portrayal (Drew rocked the song either way), then it's actually quite an ambiguous ending. The lyrics themselves are posed as a series of questions, asking Jesus: "Now why'd you choose such a backward time, and such a strange land?" i.e. If you planned on bringing a message to everyone, why'd you pick a time and place so hostile to you message? Wouldn't it have been better to come in the 21st century when we have mass communication systems that could've spread your words across the globe? "Who'd you think beside yourself was the pick of the crop?" i.e. Are you the only real one? Are Buddha and Mohammad divine as well, or are they fakers and just you're the real deal? "Did you plan to die like that, was that a mistake? Did you know your messy death Would be a record breaker?" i.e. So... was this the plan all along, or did you slip up? Did you literally plan to go out in a gruesome and memorable way so that you could become a martyr and more people would look to you? And of course the chorus... "Do you think you're what they say you are?" i.e. Quite literally asking Jesus if he really thinks he's the son of God, King of the Jews. The fundamental conflict of the musical, as established in Judas' opening song, is that whilst Judas loves and admires Jesus, he doesn't believe that Jesus is the son of God. In the beginning Judas sings "I remember when this whole thing began, no talk of God then we called you a man." Judas thinks of Jesus as an incredibly intelligent and compassionate man on a quest to help their people... but then Jesus started to become deified and Judas thinks things are getting out of control (in all fairness... he was right). I think a common issue with misinterpretations of this play is that people hear "Jesus Christ" and assume it's a passion play (hence why it gets played on NBC every Easter). But really, it's a rock opera telling the story of a group of young men (plus Mary who is basically portrayed as the female love interest) who are trying to change the world... and things roll quickly out of hand. The play ends with the crucifixion and not the resurrection, because it's up for the audience to decide if Jesus comes back to life as the Son of God, or if he's just a misguided martyr. Judas dies because, at least from his perspective, he was disloyal to Jesus and used by God. In the end he's the arbitrator, speaking for the audience to ask Jesus what the final verdict is... are you the son of God?
@ruffboimags2 жыл бұрын
The way I've always interpreted this kind of performance (which I love) is that this isn't actually Judas, it's Lucifer using Judas's face to taunt and say "was it really worth it to turn me down? To go through all this? To see your friend fall like he did?"

Interpretation means exactly that. If you read the official description of this song on the Really Useful website, it is that Jesus is delirious - with pain and agony presumably - so that it is impossible to know what He was thinking. Therefore, there is no right or wrong interpretation. But Drew Sarich's portrayl of Judas is up there with the best.

Every man is master of his own actions, because all men are born of FREE WILL. Because God is omniscent (in terms of time as well as thought) he KNOWS what someone's actions will be, because past, present, and future are all combined in his presence. That does not mean that anyone is being 'manipulated' or that he make choices for people, because everyone makes their own choices and every one is accountable for their own choices. That went for Judas like it does for everyone else.
