Jesus is Dead

That's right. Jesus is dead.
Jesus is dead because of you and me.

You liar.
You cheat.
You oppress the less fortunate.
You rob your fellow man of basic freedoms.
You cheat on your spouse.
You are willing to step on others to fulfill your own greedy ambitions.
You have committed war crimes.
You run red lights
You killed that person when you drove home drunk from the party.
You hold contempt for your siblings because your parents always loved them more than you.
You beat your wife and children.
You stole money from your mother's purse.
You lie to people to get your way.
You steal from people to get what you want.
You rapist. You murderer.
You thief. You dictator.
You betrayer of men.
You treasonous person.

Jesus is dead because of all these things you and I have done.
Jesus is dead because He took the blame for all of the sins you and I have committed.
That's right. What Jesus did was this:

You Jesus is a liar.
You Jesus is a cheat.
You Jesus oppressed the less fortunate.
You Jesus robbed his fellow man of basic freedoms.
You Jesus cheated on his spouse.
You Jesus is willing to step on others to fulfill his own greedy ambitions.
You Jesus has committed war crimes.
You Jesus runs red lights
You Jesus killed that person when he drove home drunk from the party.
You Jesus holds contempt for his siblings because his parents always loved them more than him.
You Jesus beat his wife and children.
You Jesus stole money from his mother's purse.
You Jesus lies to people to get his way.
You Jesus steals from people to get what he wants.
You Jesus is a rapist. You Jesus is a murderer.
You Jesus is a thief. You Jesus is a dictator.
You Jesus is a betrayer of men.
You Jesus is a treasonous person.

In those minutes before Jesus died, all the pain, all the guilt, all the shame, all the consequences, all the blame... it was all placed on Jesus.

Jesus is dead because of you and me.
