Topical Encyclopedia

The term "passion" in a biblical context often refers to the intense suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, commonly known as the Passion of Christ. This pivotal event in Christian theology is central to the understanding of salvation and atonement. The Passion encompasses the events leading up to and including Jesus' arrest, trial, crucifixion, and death.

Biblical Accounts

The Passion of Christ is detailed in the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each Gospel provides a unique perspective on the events, yet they collectively emphasize the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the redemptive purpose of Christ's suffering.

· Matthew 26-27: Matthew's account highlights Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane, His betrayal by Judas, and the trials before the Sanhedrin and Pilate. The Gospel emphasizes the fulfillment of prophecy, such as the thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15) and the casting of lots for Jesus' garments (Matthew 27:35).

· Mark 14-15: Mark provides a vivid and concise narrative, focusing on the abandonment by the disciples and the mockery Jesus faced. The Gospel underscores Jesus' role as the Suffering Servant, a theme rooted in Isaiah 53.

· Luke 22-23: Luke's account includes unique details such as Jesus' interaction with the repentant thief on the cross (Luke 23:42-43) and His words of forgiveness, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34).

· John 18-19: John's Gospel presents a theological reflection on the Passion, emphasizing Jesus' divine authority and control over the events. John records Jesus' declaration, "It is finished" (John 19:30), signifying the completion of His redemptive work.

Theological Significance

The Passion of Christ is central to Christian theology, representing the ultimate act of love and sacrifice. It is through Jesus' suffering and death that believers find atonement for sin and reconciliation with God. The Apostle Paul writes, "But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

The Passion also serves as a model for Christian suffering and endurance. Believers are called to take up their cross and follow Christ (Matthew 16:24), embracing trials with the hope of resurrection and eternal life.

Old Testament Foreshadowing

The Passion is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament, with prophecies and typologies pointing to the Messiah's suffering. Isaiah 53 vividly describes the Suffering Servant, "He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities" (Isaiah 53:5). The Passover lamb, as described in Exodus 12, prefigures Christ as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

Liturgical Observance

The Passion is commemorated during Holy Week, particularly on Good Friday, when Christians reflect on the crucifixion and death of Jesus. This observance is a time of solemn remembrance and gratitude for the sacrifice made on behalf of humanity.

Conclusion

The Passion of Christ remains a profound and transformative event in Christian faith, encapsulating the depth of God's love and the hope of redemption. Through the Passion, believers are invited to enter into the mystery of Christ's suffering and to live in the light of His resurrection.

PASSION, PASSIONS

pash'-un, pash'-unz: "Passion" is derived from Latin passio, which in turn is derived from the verb patior, with the root, pat-. The Latin words are connected with the Greek root, path-, which appears in a large number of derivatives. And in Greek, Latin, and English (with other languages in addition) words connected with this root, pat-, path-, are often susceptible of a great variety of meanings, for which the dictionaries must be consulted. For "passion," however, as it appears in English Versions of the Bible, only three of these meanings need be considered.

(1) Close to what seems to be the primary force of the root is the meaning "suffer," and in this sense "passion" is used in Acts 1:3, "to whom he also showed himself alive after his passion." This translation is a paraphrase (Greek: "after he had suffered"), due to the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) (post passionem suam), and in English is as old as Wycliff, whom the subsequent English Versions of the Bible has followed. This is the only case in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) where "passion" has this meaning, and it can be so used in modern English only when referring (as here) to the sufferings of Christ (compare "Passion play").

(2) "Suffering," when applied to the mind, came to denote the state that is controlled by some emotion, and so "passion" was applied to the emotion itself. This is the meaning of the word in Acts 14:15, "men of like passions," and James 5:17, "a man of like passions," Greek homoiopathes; the Revised Version margin "of like nature" gives the meaning exactly: "men with the same emotions as we."

(3) From "emotion" a transition took place to "strong emotion," and this is the normal force of "passion" in modern English the King James Version does not use this meaning, but in the Revised Version (British and American) "passion" in this sense is the translation of pathos, in its three occurrences: Romans 1:26 (the King James Version "affection"); Colossians 3:5 (the King James Version "inordinate affection"); 1 Thessalonians 4:5 (the King James Version "lust").

It is used also for two occurrences of pathema (closely allied to pathos) in Romans 7:5 (the King James Version "motions," the King James Version margin "passions") and in Galatians 5:24 (the King James Version "affection"). The fixing of the exact force in any of these cases is a delicate problem fully discussed in the commentaries. In Colossians 3:5 only does "passion" stand as an isolated term. The context here perhaps gives the word a slight sexual reference, but this must not be overstressed; the warning probably includes any violent over-emotion that robs a man of his self-control.

See AFFECTION; MOTION.
