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.

CloseThe story of the Rich Man and Lazarus has multiple layers, but one of the things it does so magnificently is give us a glimpse of what life is like after death through the eyes of two men: Lazarus and an unnamed rich man. While Lazarus is silent, upon their respective deaths, the rich man immediately understands some pivotal truths about life that we would do well to remember while we're still alive.
