The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
No one saw this coming.
Jesus was just another Jew.
Another prophet rejected by the elders.
Another criminal condemned by the Romans.
The soldiers had done this a hundred times and expected to be home for dinner.
But not until they had taken the spoils rolling dice for His clothes.
But they were all wrong.
2,000 yrs later the death of one man in the backwaters of the Roman Empire
On a small rocky hill has transformed the planet and the human race.
No one individual’s death has had such an impact
On every continent, in every country and culture and race.
And continues to do so.
There are those who continue to reject Him;
Who condemn His followers just as He was.
Who with revolution after revolution,
Sack their churches and imprison His disciples.
But He just won’t die as they hoped.
Jesus just won’t go away.
It is not money or power or prestige that attracts every age to Jesus.
It is His death on the cross.
And just when Christianity looks dead and gone.
Just when it has been buried as passé and medieval.
It rise up!
It resurrects!
No suffering, No persecution, No Mocking or Rejection,
Can overcome it.
That is the power of the Cross.
For those who embrace it,
ALWAYS Resurrect.
