Prior to being banned Abalux asked "who killed Jesus"
I would like to answer that question.
It's been a while since I've had a discourse on Matthew 27. So thank you abalux for giving me this opportunity.
Who killed Jesus.
What are our options?
1. The Jewish leaders.
Matthew 27: 1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
These were the people who asked for Him to be put to death. Today, I guess they could be co-defendants in the trial. Are they fully to blame? Unsure. They are the ones who called for His death, so they do bear some responsibility.
2. Pilate.
Matthew 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Pilate was the one who ultimately had him put on the cross. So, does he bear some responsibility? Probably.
3. Judas.
Matthew 27: 3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him,...
But, was Judas really to blame?
Luke 22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. So Judas was possessed by SATAN himself when he betrayed Jesus, so is it His fault?
4. Satan. Because he possessed Judas.
John 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
Judas would not have done it, if it weren't for that nasty old devil.
5. Jesus Himself.
Pilate in a discussion with Jesus.
Matthew 27:11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
Later on...
13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
When charged, Jesus said nothing. Knowing he was SUPPOSED to die.
6. The Jews.
Matthew 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Well then... I guess they took the blame/credit themselves.
So there you have it. The list from Matthew 27.
BUT!!! Wait... There's someone missing from that list.
Do you know who?
It's you!
Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Friend Jesus died temporarily for YOU!
Isn't that great!
How can you not be moved to accept HIM!
PRAISE JESUS!!!
