I see we are arguing the responsibility of who killed Christ on Easter. How very social media.
The Supreme Jewish Council led by Caiaphas convicted Christ of blasphemy, in the dead of night, at trial which violated Jewish law 6 ways to Sunday.
The high priest Caiaphas, knowing he had no authority to kill Jesus, convinced Pilate to try Jesus for treason. “He makes himself a king”.
Pilate said repeatedly, “this man has committed no crime.” and tried to hand Christ off to Herod. He then tried to satiate the mob that had formed with a flogging. The mob, stirred up by the chief priests and elders, demanded crucifixion in exchange for Barabbas the thief, and finally Pilate washed his hands of it.
The high priests facilitated the death of Christ. Fact.
The Romans carried it out by law. Fact.
The pitchfork mob, insisted on all of it, cheered it on, and mocked Him. Fact,
It was a dark day, no one wants “their team” to be responsible for killing the Son of God, however it was also predestined that Jesus die to atone for the sins of believers so that we may have eternal life.
Today we celebrate Easter and because everyone, Jew and gentile, played their role, He is Risen.
