Who Nailed Jesus? The question that must have been asked by many people. In this article, we give an exposition on this.
Matt 27:22 Pilate said unto them, what shall I do then with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all say unto him, let him be crucified.)
It’s a general believe that it’s Judas with the Pharisees including elders in Jerusalem that took part in killing Jesus to protect their selfish ambitions.
It’s not only Judas and the elders that put hand in nailing Him to the Cross, He was sacrifice since the foundation of the world when Adam sinned and was used to cover their nakedness.
Those who brought it to pass in the physical are fulfilling the purpose of God in a negative way: the promise was made in Eden that the seed of the woman will in turn bruise the head of that ancient dragon.
All humanity contributed in nailing Him to the Cross, from Adam till the last child that’ll be born into the world.
Your sin and my sin put him on the Cross, a curse that is issued by God can only be revoked by Him, He told them that if they eat out of the forbidden fruit, they will surely die.
Whatever He says will surely come to fulfillment because He is GOD.
Our parents disobedience activated the curse to the detriment of all humanity, what God pronounced can only be reversed by Him and the sin that brought the curse of death can only be atoned for by His blood.
The Bible says, all men have sin and fall short of the glory of God, we are born sinners from our mother’s womb, the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is already manifesting in the nature of man, which its consequences is physical and eternal death.
God sent His prophets to warn man of the danger of sin but were later killed, announcement was later made in heaven that who will go for us and who will open the seal?
There was silence in heaven for no one on earth or in heaven was able to stand up for the sake of humanity, only the lion turned Lamb that came from the throne and surrendered Himself to reconcile man to God by the atonement of His blood.
God of heaven and the earth came down, was born by a virgin in a manger, to stopped animal sacrifice for the atonement of sin in Israel.
He was taken to the court of man, examined if there is blemish found on Him, even the pilate washed his hand to removed it from the blood of that sinless man.
Passover mark the deliverance of Israel from captivity, while the slain of the son of God marks permanent deliverance of man from the slavery of sin and Satan.
“He was led as sheep as Lamb to the shearers, open not his mouth till he was led to judgement; he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, carried our sorrow and borne our grief; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripe we are healed”.
Bishop on the pulpit joined hand in nailing Him, so also the pastors and general overseer, slave in the marketplace and prisoners in the prison yard: prostitute in hotel also contributes to his death.
A child that is yet to be born also contribute to it, likewise idols worshippers nearer and in a far country also contributed to it.
It’s your sin and my sin that put him on the Cross, had He not died, everyone living would have found themselves in hell, because of the judgement of death raging upon mankind.
It’s by His death He gives man His Life, because everyone living are spiritually dead, it the blood of the Son of God that quicken souls that come to Him.
Mercy of God towards mankind invoked His death on the cross, to silence the rage of God over all humanity.
Everyone that died since Adam were detained in hell waiting for their redemption: it’s after Christ died and went to hell to preached to them, that they were transferred to paradise above.
It’s the death and resurrection of Christ that place us above the devil, we were formerly working in disobedience against the law of God by obeying the law of the flesh.
This made Satan exercise authority over us because we are at his command, living according to his dictation.
It’s only those who believe in Jesus Christ and hide under his blood that has power over the devil and are able to trample upon him and his minions.
Righteousness of man works below the requirements of God, for its still under tbe control of the good of that tree in the garden; it’s by putting on the righteousness of Christ and partake in the tree of Life that we can appear in the presence of God.
Body of flesh is condemned with our nature, Jesus Christ gave man His body that’s beyond condemnation, God don’t have desire in changing man, all He desire is to killed our carnal nature in exchange it for the nature of His Son on the altar of Calvary.
Only those who look onto Him on the cross shall be saved, that’s where the head of serpent was bruise and the power of sin got broken to liberate all humanity from the bondage of Satan.
God put the sin of man upon him on the Cross, He died, and buried with it and resurrected back to new life, so also those who approach him at the cross shall have their guilt removed and will receive justification by his blood.
It’s only the blood of God that can run through eternity, the debt of sin cannot be paid by man, even the blood of animal can’t atone for it, it’s his blood that is eternal to give us eternal life that is in Him.
He died to stand as our advocate in the presence of God our Father in heaven, accuser is standing against everyone that’s arriving in the kingdom, he is finding faults with them, but the blood of Jesus Christ is our intercessor, silence the accuser for our sake.
Those who refuse him now will regret for eternity, for they will need to pay for their sin with their own blood because the blood of the son of God stop working after leaving the earth.
Those who reject him shall be condemned for crucifying the Son of God and trample on His blood, the judgement for mocking Him is eternal for wasting eternal blood on things that is of no valued.
Prayer: Father Lord, do not let your blood go in vain for my life in Jesus name amen
