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.

CloseNoah is a shining light in the Old Testament, until that little "incident" after the flood involving some alcohol and his three sons. One son humiliated him, while the other two "walked backwards towards sin," not wanting any part in shaming their father any further. When we're dealing with someone that is lost in their own sin, we also have to tread lightly. Handle it in love (but handle it!) and help them work through it as best we can.
