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.

CloseWhen Peter told the group in Acts 2:40 to "save yourselves from this perverse generation!", he didn't mean to die on the cross for your own sins. He meant to come out of that generation and be separate. Be different. Be holy. Be Christians. Today, a lot of people have a pharisaical mindset in regards to their salvation. They hear what God has to say, then erect additional layers to "safeguard" themselves. The result is more separation indeed, but often not the type they want.
