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's super common for people to say that "the church is going away" or "people aren't interested in the Gospel anymore," but I don't think that statement is 100% accurate. Churches may be closing their doors, but I believe people are still interested in God. Even if that weren't true though, I should still believe it. Why? Because once I start to doubt that people aren't interested in the Gospel anymore, my evangelism will cease. And when that happens, I'll lose heart. Christians have to be optimists. There's simply no other option for us.
