Were you there?

Today is the day when my King fulfilled a prophecy made hundreds of years before he had even been born. 

Isaiah 53:5-6 [5] But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. [6] We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.  

written about 700 years before The Christ was born

Today I try to think about what I would do if I was there. Would I try to stop the Roman Soldiers from murdering my King? Would I just sit there and cry knowing it has to be done to free the world from the bondage of sin? 

In this video you'll see what a few people who were there did. Watch as Jesus' mother Marry holds her baby for the last time. 

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:6-8
