Pharisees appear on nearly every page of the Gospels, yet little is known about where they came from, or especially, why they’re so hostile to Jesus. So if you were to create one of these beings out of thin air, what ingredients would you need? You’d start with a strong spiritual foundation, throw in a hearty sprinkling of egotism, and then finally, a failure to see the big picture. Poof! You’ve got a pharisee.

CloseThe glory of the Resurrection is real, but it's coupled with the tragedy of the Crucifixion. Even if you're not religious, it's one of the most pivotal moments in world history. But a big question remains...who's responsible for the death of Jesus? The usual suspects emerge: Pilate, the Romans, and the Jews. Scripturally though, the Bible talks about how we're all responsible (1 Peter 2:18-25). Realistically though, the responsibility is with me. Not everyone (although that is true), but with me. I'm responsible. Me. Just me. Personalizing the Cross is important, because it reminds me of God's love. Even if nobody else had sinned, my sins would've been enough to put Jesus on the cross. What a powerful concept for us to think on.
