Mt27

"Crucify Him! His blood be on us and our children!" - the mob

As Jesus was about to shed His blood for the sins of the world, the mob shouted to take responsibility for His death! Their words were true… Jesus' blood was about to be shed because of them! But they had no idea that this "shedding of blood" would not condemn them before God, but would ultimately cleans all who would believe.

The mobs sins were already enough for their condemnation. It only takes one. This horrible murder wasn't their worst sin. It became their saving grace! Peter would later proclaim, "This Jesus, whom you crucified is the savior of the world." Many would later repent and believe.

In fact, "His blood was on them." Not for condemnation, but rather for salvation. Wow.
