When Pilate told the incited crowd, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person,” they answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children.” They did not realize their words and actions to condemn Christ fulfilled God’s will. Let us see and appreciate God’s love for us through the events of Christ’s death. One day, the world will repent and have their sins forgiven through faith in Christ’s blood on them.
