Not Done In A Corner

The crucifixion of Jesus was not done in a corner or somewhere hidden behind closed doors. It was done openly and proudly by the Roman soldiers for all to witness, at the insistence of the Jews. Therefore, there is no excuse why someone should not know of the one and only event that literally changed the world. The Son of God prophesied to be crucified on the behalf of the salvation of mankind.

Everyday, openly we crucify Jesus again and again, whether it be taking his name

in vain, sinning, breaking commandments, or just plain rejecting the acceptance of Him in our lives. God allowed himself to be crucified at the hand of man so that the participation would be undeniable in commitment and involvement. The spilling of the blood was the sacrificial offering of deity on our behalf that could only be done once and forever. The Lord willingly subjected himself to the humiliation and hatred of mankind by allowing his life to be taken without objection.

By the same token, when we outwardly express our thoughts and love for Jesus, it should never be in a corner. Instead, we should shout it from the rooftop and openly display our love and passion for God and what he did for us. The sin debt was paid in full with no strings attached. All that God requires is that you love him enough to care… about yourself and your brethren.
