Who Killed Jesus

Who killed Jesus? You did! Oh, you were not there but that does not matter. No, you did not place the nails in His body or drove them into His hands and feet. You did not even beat him until He passed out, but you killed him just the same.

Our sin killed Him. No man or any type of persecution could ever have killed Him. If Jesus did not choose to be hung on a cross, He would be alive today. He could not die. It was impossible for Him to die by the hands of human beings.

We think our sin is not alive or powerful, nor does it matter very much. But our sin is what destroys all that is good, right, and perfect. It is our sin and only our sin that Jesus came to rid the world of.

Sin, as I have said often, is complicated and all pervasive. Sin brings sickness, brokenness, and failure in every relationship we have. Sin consumes whatever it touches and places us in a state or hopelessness and complete rejection. Man struggles to overcome his sin, but it is only in Christ that sin can be done away with; can be forgotten and its consequences reversed.

You say you have found forgiveness but are there still stains of our sin in your life? Is everything that sin has produced in your life been done away with? Do you struggle in any area of your life; do you have peace in everything you do? Are you happy all the time or does you conscious still convict you?

Yes, you killed Jesus, and you are still killing Him today! It is only repentance and forgiveness that is found in the Holy Spirit that can release you and bring you life.

Go off by yourself, weep and mourn over your sin. Cry out for forgiveness and repent by changing your ways. It is Jesus who you killed, and it is only Him that can forgive you. His love for you will cleanse you and His forgiveness will make you whole. (Isaiah 1:18)

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
