God condescended to incarnate as a human in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus lived on earth as a man and with all of our aches, pains and bodily functions. He was hated for his ministry because the new covenant opened the kingdom of God to gentiles around the world. He was killed by the Jews and entombed for three days. He descended into Hades to preach the gospel and rose on the third day before ascending into heaven to sit at the right hand of the father. He sanctified our fallen human nature by living a perfect life. God became man so that man might become God. Jesus Christ loves you and wants you to be saved. Get baptized and, although you will fail, try to live in accordance with his teachings.
The Romans executed him at the behest of the Pharisees. (e.g. Pontius Pilate washing his hands and the Jews choosing Barrabus to be set free even though he was a known murderer)
roman authority handled Jesus the same they handled any other crucified person. The situation was considered like any other uprising and handled accordingly, not a conspiracy to target him. This is supported by the fact that roman documentation of the crucifixion is blasé.
Jews had their own judiciary (e.g. Sanhedrin) the Jewish leadership sought Jesus’s crucifixion because they considered him a blasphemer for declaring himself as the Messiah equivalent with God, not keeping the laws of Moses, establishing a new covenant and keeping sinful company. The Romans had the Monopoly on violence because they ruled the area but the Jews managed their community. The Romans nailed Jesus to the cross but the Jewish leadership (specifically the Pharisees) put him there. I wouldn’t expect it to seem out of the ordinary for the Romans outside of Pontius Pilate.

Blessed Pascha. Christ is risen from the dead.
Romans pinned him up for being a nuisance, ya goof.

Sounds like the Roman’s did it bc they couldn’t be bothered with the civil unrest from another of the many cults in the region.
