Day 101: Gethsemane, Jesus Christ Superstar

This week the theme is going to be musicals. The first musical I fell in love with was Jesus Christ Superstar. As I have alluded to elsewhere, it was through this musical that I was first drawn to Christ even though most Christians would recognise that the musical portrayal of Jesus is not really Biblical because it strips Christ of his divinity and puts too much tension into his humanity in order to develop the musical drama.
