The Crucifiction of Christ

Jesus came wearing the Crown of thorns and a purple robe. Pilate said, "Behold the man." The Chief Priests and officers saw Him and they cried loudly, "Crucify Him, crucify Him." Pilate answered, "I have found no fault in Him." The Jews snapped, "We have a law, and by our law He ought to die...because He has made himself the Son of God."

The Lord Jesus is the Son of God. He came into this world to die for our sin and pay the price that we should have paid. The Lord himself said that the Son of Man would be betrayed and that they would condemn Him to death. They would mock Him, scourge Him and crucify Him, but on the third day He would rise again.

To some the Savior's death on the cross is seen as a crushing defeat. To those of us who believe, however, His death is viewed as a payment for our sin. Our acceptance of His free gift covers our sin debt, removes us from the path to Hell and places us on the road to Heaven. His death, burial and resurrection is the reason for our salvation. This gift is offered to anyone who is willing to believe, place their faith in his sacrifice and call upon His name.

Ask Jesus to save you now, before it is eternally too late.

Matthew 20 v. 18, 19
