What people do to people ( Matthew 27 v 12)

 Yes what do people do to people?,yes there are many people doing good things,and I'm sure we all know many such people, and of course if we are a Christian we should be at the top of the list in doing good things. But the bad things that people do to others, from scams to ,'you name it',the list is endless,and its very depressing ,frightening,and very, very sad..We were made for better things than that,and it shows the awful,destructive,catastrophic,consequences of the fall of mankind.And it doesn't stop there,in John 1 v1 we are told of a great and awesome,breathtaking ,astonishing  truth,Jesus who was and is God,became flesh, and dwelt among us (v 14).He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him,the world did not recognise Him.imagine that,and alas they still do not recognise Him. But it does not stop there,He came to that which was His own,but His own did not receive Him  (John 1v 10-11). Not only did the world not recognise Him,and His own people rejected Him, they hated Him,with a hatred reserved for the worst of  people,They arrested Him,give him a farce of a triaL. They mocked Him ,physically assulted Him,and nailed Him to a cross. Isaiah leaves us a description of Christ hanging on that cross.,'They are appalled at Him,his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being,and His form marred beyond human likeness (52 v 14) This is what people did to Jesus,that's the gravity of what they did, let me ask the question, what are you going to do with Jesus?.
