Why do we say that “we” crucified Jesus? If you were ever asked that by one of your kids or by your Sunday School student, the simplest answer is still John 3:16. The “world” and “whoever” in the most famous verse of the Bible means both Jews and Gentiles. But you can also say that, in a certain way, whoever lived and existed in any era and from any race were represented at Jesus’ crucifixion by the people there. Jesus previously told Pilate that the Jews who delivered Him to them were guilty of greater condemnation. But you and I were also represented by Pilate and his men. Jesus is literally the One we Gentiles crucified.
