Re: I Put Jesus on the Cross!
Let us not curse the Jews for delivering Jesus to be crucified. Let us
not single out the Romans in blaming them for putting Jesus on the
cross....Every one of us in Adam's race had a share in putting Him on
the cross ! I have often wondered how any professing Christian man or
woman could approach the communion table and participate in the
memorial of our Lord's death without teeming and sensing the pain and
the shame of the inward confession, "I, too, am among those who helped
put Him on the cross !" The prophet [Isaiah] reminds us clearly that
the Saviour was bruised for "our iniquities" [53:5]....the fingerprints
of all mankind are plain evidence against us.

As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none
who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all
turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who
does good, no, not one." (Rom 3:10-12)
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus
Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are
going to believe on Him for everlasting life. (1 Tim 1:16)
