WHO KILLED JESUS ?

Was it the ROMAN SOLDIERS who crucified him?

Was it PILATE who granted the demand for him to be crucified?

Was it the CROWD that shouted, “Crucify him”?

Was it the CHIEF PRIESTS and the teachers of the law who accused him?

Was it the CROWD that seized him?

Was it JUDAS ISCARIOT who betrayed him?

Was it the CHIEF PRIESTS and the teachers of the law who were looking for some way to get rid of him?

In other words,

was it the ones who conceived the idea,

the one who offered to help them,

the ones who arrested him,

the ones who accused him,

the incited crowds shouting “Crucify him,”

the one who granted the request to crucify him,

or the ones that carried out the crucifixion?

SIMILARLY, WHAT PART ARE YOU PLAYING IN SOMEONE’S DESTRUCTION??

Are you the one who conceiving the idea, or starting it?

Or, are you the one helping those who conceived the idea?
Or are you part-taking in implementing the idea?

Or are you simply inciting others against the person?
Maybe you are just the authority granting the permission that endorsed the idea.

Or you are the “manslayer”; the executioner who actually executed the idea.

What part are you playing?

Who killed Jesus?
