1989, April, Maxwell, "Irony: The Crust on the Bread of…

- - - - disappointment
        
        bitterness
- - - - but the Son of man hath not to lay his head
    - - and ye would not
    - - he could draw all men unto himself
      - men could be lifted up by the Father
  - - - a life-taking murderer, instead of life-giving Jesus
  - - - nevertheless, he finished his preparations

- - - - may be the means of stripping us of pride
  - - - just to let God know we notice the ironies
  - - - loving more
        
        the world judges him of naught; scourges; smites; spits upon

        no mention of vinegar, scourging, being struck, being spat upon
        
        does mention the exquisite suffering
