When he could just simply stand up for what he believes in like John does. Reverend Hale believes the girls are liars but never tries to prove it or put an end to the trials. That is why he isn’t this stories tragic hero. When at the same time John risks everything to tell the truth, yes what John did with Abigail was adultery, which is in the Ten Commandments. But God does believe in forgiveness of your sins and his truth was his forgiveness.
He is so holy, just, and full of grace that He had to send His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for these sins and humans’ depraved condition. In order to admit
Luke, in comparison to Jesus Christ, the disciples followed Him. In the movie the inmate’s follow Luke. The inmates looked up to Luke as a leader and inspiration to the lowlifes in society. Jesus was the ultimate sacrificed. Jesus gave His life so we could spend eternity with Him in heaven.
He knew, as did Johnny that they were the ones who accidentally set the church in flames, so saving the children’s lives no matter the outcome of his own was the least he could do. “I'll get them, don't worry!” I started at a dead run for the church and the man caught my arm.”(p.91). Even not feeling well, Ponyboy still fought in the rumble. The “Greasers” know that they must be loyal to each other because each other is all they have. Ponyboy knew that his friends needed him so he fought.
Today, I can look back with peace and understand all the pain and hurt was worth it, because now I walk and seek the same passionate relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The suffering Christ endured on the cross was something I'll never truly know. However, what a true blessing that in the midst of a tragedy God never left my side. Even when I was so angry with him.

He must either must lie, and confess to a sin that he did not commit (that of witchcraft) and have this lie posted on the church door, or die for the sin of witchcraft that he did not commit. John wrestles with his conscience over this choice, and in the end, chooses to die telling the truth - that he is an honest man who did not commit witchcraft and told the truth no matter the consequences. He says, “Because it is my name!
Though he was innocent, he was condemned by Pontius Pilate and sentenced to death on a cross. By His suffering and death, Jesus paid completely for the sins.
