Stephen, full of grace and power, while
addressing the Jewish Sanhedrin said:
"Which of the prophets have not your fathers
persecuted? and they have slain them which
shewed before of the coming of the Just
One; of whom ye have been now the betray-
ers and murderers" (Acts 7:52).
Gentiles Did
And that the Gentiles have their share of
the guilt of the crucifixion of Christ, the
Apostle Paul makes clear when he says:
"Which none of the princes of this world
knew: for had they known it, they would not
have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corin-
thians 2:8).
The inscription of the Cross was written
in Hebrew and Greek and Latin (John 19:
19-20).
The Hebrews were outstanding for re-
ligion, the Greeks for culture, and the Ro-
mans for politics. Thus, the world of religion,
culture and politics, was represented at
Calvary.
But the question of blame for the cruci-
fixion of the Savior should be answered in
another way.
John the Baptist said: "Behold the Lamb
of God which taketh away the sin of the
world" (John 1:29).
Peter said: "For Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust,
that He might bring us to God" (1 Peter
3:18).
Paul said: "Christ died for our sins, ac-
cording to the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians
15:3).
The evangelist John said: "He is the
propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for the whole world" (1 John
2:2).
Our Sins Did
In a very real sense, it was our sins that
' nailed Him to the Cross.
Since "all have sinned" (Romans 3:23),
and "there is no man that sinneth not" (1
Kings 8:46), it behooves each person to say
with Dr. Horatius Bonar:
'TWAS I THAT DID IT
I see the crowd in Pilate's hall,
I mark their wrathful mien;
Their shouts of "crucify" appall,
With blasphemy between.
And of that shouting multitude
I feel that I am one;
And in that din of voices rude,
I recognize my own.
I see the scourges tear his back,
I see the piercing crown,
And of that crowd who smote and mock,
I feel that I am one.
Around yon cross, the throng I see,
Mocking the sufferer's groan,
Yet still my voice it seems to be,-
As if I mocked alone.
'Twas I that shed the sacred blood,
I nailed him to the tree,
I crucified the Christ of God,
I joined the mockery.
Yet not the less that blood avails,
To cleanse away my sin,
And not the less that cross prevails
To give me peace within.3
Engraving 66 Books
On A Stamp
It has been known for years that the Lord's
Prayer has been engraved on a pin head.
Now the Gorton Machine Tool Outfit of Racine,
Wisconsin, has engraved the Prayer on a much
smaller space.
And in addition to that, the Gorton firm claims it
can engrave the entire sixty-six books of the Bible
within an area of one-half inch by three-eighths of
an inch!
That would be an extraordinary feat, but that is
not the best place for such engraving.
The Holy Spirit would engrave the Word upon
our hearts, and then give us power to translate it
into action. The Psalmist could say: "Thy Word
have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin
against Thee" (Psalm 119:11).
All believers are exhorted to: "Let the Word of
Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord" (Colossians 3:16).
"Engrave this deeply on our heart,
Conform our ways to Thine,
That so we may, in some degree,
Reflect the light divine."
