with all the blame as to who is responsible

With all the blame as to who is responsible for the death of Jesus, who really did kill him?

- J.T.M., Highland Beach





The fact that so many struggle with the question simply means that they don’t understand the answer. Jesus said: No one takes it away from me. I give my own life freely. I have the right to give my life, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my Father commanded me to do." (John 10:18 ICB)



Christ’s death was a necessary ingredient in the redemption of mankind from Adam’s first act of disobedience: Sin came into the world because of what one man did. And with sin came death. And this is why all men must die--because all men sinned (Romans 5:12).



Christ’s death was a plan put into place from before time began (Revelation 13:8). It was God’s solution to sin: Christ had no sin. But God made him become sin. God did this for us so that in Christ we could become right with God (2 Corinthians 5:21).



The horrifying truth is that since we are all guilty of sin, we all killed Christ: All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6).
