Why.( 2 ) (Romans 3 v36 )

Jesus did not fail,when He was crucified, so let us consider why He came to die, why such a horrible death,we cannot sanitise it,we have to be careful not to do that, it was not a pretty picture, it was cruelty ,personified,it shows man at his worse,acting like a mere beast,they lusted after His death. Their pent up hatred for Him erupted like a destructive volcano,crucify Him ,crucify Him ,they cried out,at last we have him, thy thought, we are going to shut Him up once and for all.Such savagery was a manifestation of mankind's sinfulness at its worse,now we are closing in on the why He came to die ,mankind's sinfulness.  We must sanitise Christ death on the cross,likewise we must not minimize sin,any sin.and we must not  minimise the potential  of our fallen nature to manifest itself in the most extreme ways.You may not think you would have acted like those who crucified Jesus,but who knows,if you were there,you may have.As regards minimizing sin,one has to realise that any sin is an act of disobedience to a Holy God. The word of God clearly teaches that everyone of us sin (Romans 3 v23).that is the tragedy of our nature,sin,a nature that is desperately wicked, capable of the most awful things.
