And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
Today's Thought: Christ willingly accepted the call of crucifixion for you and me.
Charles Spurgeon wrote:
We love everything earthly better than we ought; we soon fix our heart upon a creature, but very seldom on the Creator; and when the heart is given to Jesus, it is prone to wander.” The opposition that Jesus faced and those who cried out for His death was not because they were a particularly evil group of people. They were just like us—sinners—only they had not been touched by God’s grace. Without that grace, we too would be crying “Crucify Him.
The life of Jesus was the perfect demonstration of His message. He had worked several miracles, healed the sik, and gave hope to many. Despite all these, many people did not believe Him. At the end of all, they cried for Jesus's death. They rejected Him and they want Him killed.
We too are the crying for the death of Jesus. It was our sins that sent Him to the cross. Now that we are saved we should give God the glory He deserves. Let us continue hurting our Lord Jesus Christ because of our sins.
