And now let us try to picture to ourselves what this shouting and rage signified historically. Let us ask: What ought these people to have recognized in Christ Jesus? They ought to have recognized that Being who gives meaning and significance to Earth life. They ought to have recognized that Being who had to accomplish the deed without which Earth humanity cannot find the way back to the divine. They ought to have understood that humanity has no significance apart from this Being. Men would have to strike out from the evolution of the Earth the world “man” if they wished to strike out the Christ Event. Now let it come home to us that this multitude condemned and were enraged against the Being who actually makes man Man upon the Earth; who is destined to give to the Earth its goal and purpose. What does this mean? Surely it means that in those who in Jerusalem at that time ranked as the representatives of human knowledge concerning the true being of man, the knowledge of man was obscured. They had no knowledge of what man is, what his mission on the Earth is to be. We are told nothing less than that humanity had reached a point where it had lost itself, where it had condemned that which gives purpose and significance to the Earth-evolution. And out of the cries of the enraged multitude could be heard, not the words of wisdom, but of folly: “We do not wish to be Man; rather do we wish to cast away from us that which gives us any further meaning as Man.”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Christ's Presence in Human Soul Evolution","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Ausgehen möchte ich davon, wie uns eine gewisse Szene des Mysteriums von Golgatha in geschichtlicher Überlieferung vor Augen steht, so wie sie sich eingeprägt hat und noch viel mehr einprägen sollte in die Herzen und in die Seelen der Menschen. Setzen wir einen Augenblick voraus, daß wir vor uns haben in dem Christus Jesus diejenige Wesenheit, die wir öfter im Verlauf unserer geisteswissenschaftlichen Betrachtungen besprochen und charakterisiert haben; setzen wir voraus, daß wir in dem Christus Jesus dasjenige vor dem geistigen Auge haben, was uns Menschen im ganzen Weltenall als das Wichtigste erscheinen muß. Und dann stellen wir gegenüber dieser Empfindung, diesem Gefühl, das Schreien, das Wüten der aufgeregten Menge von Jerusalem vor der Kreuzigung, bei der Verurteilung. Stellen wir uns vor das geistige Auge die Tatsache, daß der Hohe Rat in Jerusalem vor allen Dingen es für sehr wichtig hält, an den Christus Jesus die Frage zu stellen nach dem, wie er es mit dem Göttlichen halte, ob er sich bekenne als den Sohn des Göttlichen. Und fassen wir ins geistige Auge, daß der Hohe Rat dieses für die größte Lästerung hält, die der Christus Jesus hat aussprechen können. Halten wir uns weiter vor Augen, daß eine Szene vor uns steht, geschichtlich, in der das Volk schreit und wütet nach dem Tode des Christus Jesus. Und versuchen wir nun einmal, uns zu vergegenwärtigen, was dieses Schreien und Wüten des Volkes historisch eigentlich bedeutet.
