I Crucified Jesus

Posted by jerrywhite on Apr 9, 2009

`Twas I that shed the sacred blood;
I nailed him to the tree;
I crucified the Christ of God;
I joined the mockery.

Of all that shouting multitude
I feel that I am the one;
And in that din of voices rude
I recognize my own.

Around the cross the throng I see,
Mocking the sufferer’s groan;
Yet still my voice it seems to be,
As if I mocked alone.
Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)

“Let me never forget that the heinousness of sin lies not so much in the nature of the sin committed, as in the greatness of the Person sinned against.”

Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.
