This is holy week for Christians the days leading up to Easter, days when we reflect on the events that led to Jesus' death, and when we read about those events in the gospels it's a bit of a challenge for us because neither religious leaders nor politicians come out of the story with very much credit. It was the religious leaders of Jesus' time who started the proceedings against him. They were so concerned to defend their own good tradition. They couldn't tolerate someone who spoke the same truth from a fresh and different angle, so they abused their power to preserve their own interests at the expense of others, and no doubt they had lots of plausible sounding reasons to justify their actions. Then it was the politicians who finished Jesus off. They were so concerned to impose their agenda and to keep themselves in power that they settled for what was expedient rather than what was right, again at the expense of those they ruled, again perfectly justifiable by their own standards. Holy week is a toxic mess of politics and religion, and it shows how badly wrong things can go when these are abused, something not lacking in the world today. Yet at the heart of Easter is another example, the example of Jesus himself, someone who models a servant form of leadership, who never used power to further his own interest, someone whose life served the needs of the people least valued by his society, and his death was an act of self-giving love. Most people who get into politics or religion don't do it because we're power-mad or because we're ambitious for big salaries. There are lots of easier ways to make a living. Most of us do it because we want to change things for the better, and we're easy targets for criticism. The snare of power or personal gain takes us by surprise. Often the choices before us are much more complex than they seem to outsiders, and we have to examine our motives and wrestle with our consciences. At times like that, the Easter story offers us a reference point for how power can be used well or badly, and how leadership looks at its worst and at its very best. May I wish you all a well-deserved Easter break when it comes? To ask the Scottish Government for what reason
