The 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.

CloseIt seems so simple. When Paul went to Corinth (according to 1 Corinthians 2:2), he said that he wanted to know nothing among them except "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." A bold step for a town that prided itself on their philosophy and intellecutalism. But a closer look at 1 Corinthians shows that at these five words -- if implemented properly -- would have fundamentally changed who they were and eliminated most of their problems. Then as of now, a focus on "Jesus Christ and Him Crucified" is more than enough.
