Christ's death: Ironies and Recapitulations

Lots of ironies and recapitulations when Jesus died:

the Carpenter was nailed to wood,

the author of life was killed, a murderer was saved.

The one that created man in a garden and made him fall asleep to created his wife from man's side was buried in a garden and fell asleep and formed the church from his side (blood and water)

Jesus bar-abbas (son of the father) was picked over Jesus the Son of the Father. 

Born naked, then stripped naked when he died.

Where he was born was a result of the Romans' decree, where he died as a result of the Romans' decree

The King was executed as a rebel. 

The one taught not to live by the sword died the by sword by order of a ruler named Javelin 

When Christ was born Mary's water broke and blood was shed, when Christ was dead water and blood also poured out.

the one born in a cave was buried in one, 

Wrapped in swaddling when he was born, wrapped in linen when he buried

After Jesus was born he was given myrrh, when he died he also received myrrh 

Joseph took him to the cave at his birth, another Joseph took him to the cave to be buried
a Mary (virgin) gave birth in the first, and Maries (one a former whore) were there when he was buried.
