Who’s Responsible For The Death Of Jesus?

16 May

Was it the Romans?

Was it the Jews?

Ultimately both are incorrect.

Man, as a sinful lost soul doomed for hell is responsible for Christ coming and dying on the cross.

Romans 5:12-18-12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.

 15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

 18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.

We’re talking about God in the flesh.  He didn’t have to die, but chose to.  No one could have put Jesus to death had the Lord not allowed it to happen.

What an evil pathetic thing anti-Semitism is towards the Jews from the church. 

Think about this:

If Christ was not crucified and rose from the dead, we are still unsaved and doomed for hell.  So what is up with a man who claims that Jesus is his Savior and yet wants to hate the Jews for putting Him on the cross?

It makes no sense.  However, evil makes no sense.  All things evil have one thing in common; they are actions or thoughts contrary to how God is.  That’s the gauge of good and evil.

Who’s responsible for Jesus dying on the cross?  We are!  Thank you Lord, for loving us enough to die for us.
