Before the Easter, let us remember the passion of Christ.
Firstly, it was ourselves that denied Christ and forced him to the cross. Although Pilate tried to set Christ free, who was innocent, the Jewish leaders and the crowd accused that he had to be crucified. They were also ourselves.
Secondly, Christ himself carried the cross for us and went out to Golgothas. After getting hurt terribly, in order to die as the substitute of us, he himself carried the cross and went out to Golgothas.
Thirdly, Christ was crucified on the cross together with our sins. He didn't resist at all. He died, being crucified on the cursed cross. Because of this, we were saved through faith.
With what kind of mind are we facing the Savior? Do not believe him as something beneficial. For the Lord who devoted himself this much, let us also keep devoting ourselves!

<The Verse of the Bible>
Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).
