Who crucified Jesus Christ? ✝️
1. Roman soldiers physically carried out the crucifixion on the orders of Pontis Pilot.
2. Pontis Pilot ordered the crucifixion to appease Jewish religious leaders who were convinced Jesus had committed blasphemy.
3. Jews cheered the crucifixion, except for those who had became Christ's followers and went on to spread Christianity to the world.

Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Matthew 27:25
Yes.
Ultimately, they were all pawns of Satan who while trying to thwart God’s plan actually did exactly what God had intended to happen.
“Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;”
â€â€1 Corinthians‬ â€2‬:â€6‬-â€8‬ â€
Christians: focus on building Christendom, deny those attacking it. ⛪
There is not a kingdom in Heaven for those who accept Christ and one for those who reject Him. ✝️
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6 🕊️
“Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities…and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Is 53:4-6
Who killed Jesus? Ultimately, God did. Using evil men for His purposes. As Acts tells us…
“…your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.” Acts 4:27-28
These were the evil and lawless men of Acts 2:23. “This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.”
We are responsible for our evil, but God’s plans will never be thwarted.
I did!
"Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do." Jesus says of the Roman soldiers who are unknowingly executing the Son of God on the orders of Pontius Pilot, who is carrying out the will of the Jews, rejecting Jesus as Messiah.
