It wasn’t nails that held him to the cross but his love for you and me.
How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? (Hebrews 2:3)
We must not forget that it wasn’t the Jews that put him on the cross, and it wasn’t the Romans. It was my sins, it was your sins, the sins of this world.
– Franklin Graham

You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. (Colossians 2:13,14) NLT
Jesus Christ did not come into this world to make bad people good; He came into this world to make dead people live. – Lee Strobel
Jesus didn’t say “I am finished.” He said, “It is finished.” He was just getting started.
