Who Killed Jesus Christ ?

Getting to know Jesus better



There is a question today as to who killed Jesus Christ. Was it the Jews? Was it the Romans? Was it the jealous religious leaders of the day?

Jesus prophesied that He would be crucified and rise again in three days

Mat 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Mat 17:22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men : Mat 17:23 And they shall kill him , and the third day he shall be raised again . And they were exceeding sorry .
Mat 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock , and to scourge , and to crucify him : and the third day he shall rise again .
Mark 8:31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Mark 9:31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men , and they shall kill him ; and after that he is killed , he shall rise the third day .
Mark 10:34 And they shall mock him , and shall scourge him , and shall spit upon him , and shall kill him : and the third day he shall rise again .
Luke 9:22 Saying , The Son of man must suffer many things , and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes , and be slain , and be raised the third day .
Luke 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye , and tell that fox , Behold , I cast out devils , and I do cures to day and to morrow , and the third day I shall be perfected .
Luke 18:33 And they shall scourge him , and put him to death : and the third day he shall rise again .
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple , and in three days I will raise it up . John 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? John 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body. John 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man , then shall ye know that I am he , and that I do nothing of myself ; but as my Father hath taught me , I speak these things .
John 12:32 And I , if I be lifted up from the earth , will draw all men unto me . John 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

Jesus also showed this by Scriptural example.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness , even so must the Son of man be lifted up : John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have eternal life .
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly ; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth .

John the Baptist showed this by example too.

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
He was saying that Jesus would be sacrificed for the sins of the people as the Lamb is sacrificed on the Day of Atonement.

His enemies knew that He said that He would be crucified and rise again in three days

Mat 26:61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Mat 27:40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
Mat 27:63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Mat 27:64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
Mark 14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
Mark 15:29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, Mark 15:30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

So, again, the question is, 'who killed Jesus Christ?' - Lets let Jesus answer that.....

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto , but to minister , and to give his life a ransom for many .
John 10:15 As the Father knoweth me , even so know I the Father : and I lay down my life for the sheep .
John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me , because I lay down my life , that I might take it again .
John 10:18 No man taketh it from me , but I lay it down of myself . I have power to lay it down , and I have power to take it again . This commandment have I received of my Father .
Jesus said that NO ONE killed Him. So, what killed Him? My sins and your sins killed Him. That is why He came - to die for our sins - so we could have forgiveness, and eternal life with Him in Heaven.

We are not to blame or hate any one for killing Jesus Christ. Instead, He wants to fill you with His Love.
