Good Friday 2026

The question of who killed Jesus reveals a sobering truth: we all bear responsibility. Historical figures like Herod, Pilate, the Pharisees, and Roman soldiers each represent different aspects of human sin that led to Christ's crucifixion. Herod's impurity, Pilate's denial of truth, the Pharisees' pride, and the soldiers' indifference mirror our own failings. Every sin we commit - whether dishonesty, pride, or lack of compassion - spiritually places another nail in Jesus' hands. Yet this recognition leads to beautiful truth: Christ's sacrifice was made out of love, providing redemption for all who believe.
