The Grace of Christ be with you!
Sin is like a virus. It needs a human host to perpetuate itself in the world. In scripture, God has sought to stop the spread of sin, often through acts of discipline. Yet the spread of sin persists as it spreads through acts of retribution against it. How does sin try to egg Jesus on at the cross?
-
Pilate cannot sway crowd from demanding cross.
-
Soldiers mock Jesus as do bandits on cross.
-
Passersby tempt him (like Satan) to come down.
-
Priests scoff, ‘He saved others, but not himself.’
The only means to stop the spread of sin is to not live in fear of it, apathy towards it, or seek retribution for it. Jesus broke the cycle that perpetuates sin in the world by not neither fleeing the cross nor by seeking retribution for his tormentors. God will no longer seek retribution for sin against him. The church is now free to die to sin & continue to undermine sin in the world.
Blessings, Will
