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.

ClosePride is a timeless sin. It has destroyed empires, fractured families, and destroyed relationships, but perhaps its deadliest attack is what it does to our relationship with God. But where does pride come from? In the case of the nation of Edom, it came from their self-assured security in the strength of their empire, but as Obadiah points out, even that couldn't save them against the judgment of God.
