Before we can begin to see the cross as something done for us, we have to see it as something done by us.
John Stott
For many years we Christians blamed the Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus. It was easier to do this than to accept that had we lived in his time and place we could have been a party to his death. We are not blameless even now. We kill him again each time we don’t acknowledge that was are Christians, each time that we hurt someone else or don’t do something the we know is right. We kill him little by little.
Prayer: God of forgiveness, we are sinful people and we fall off the path all the time. Help us to think before we act. Amen
