<h2>446. THREE CROSSES OF CALVARY</h2>
|
|
<p>The men who were associated with Christ, are an object lesson for us, as to the difference there is between the believer and the unbeliever in relation to the question of sin. Let us look at the three men.</p>
|
|
<p>Upon the centre cross is Christ. Is there sin <i>in</i> Him? No. He did no sin (<a id="fem446-si1" onclick="return mV('1Pe',2,22);">1Pe 2:22</a>), He knew no sin (<a id="fem446-si2" onclick="return mV('2Cr',5,21);">2Cr 5:21</a>), and in Him was no sin (<a id="fem446-si3" onclick="return mV('1Jo',3,5);">1Jo 3:5</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>Was there sin <i>on</i> Him? Yes. For God made to meet upon Him the iniquity of us all (<a id="fem446-si4" onclick="return mV('Isa',53,6);">Isa 53:6</a>, <font size=1>M</font>.).</p>
|
|
<p>Was there sin <i>in</i> the thieves? Yes. For they were, like all, conceived in sin (<a id="fem446-si5" onclick="return mV('Psa',51,5);">Psa 51:5</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>Was there sin <i>on</i> the thieves? Yes, and no.</p>
|
|
<p>Upon the believing thief there was no sin, for Christ was his Sin-Bearer.</p>
|
|
<p>Upon the unbelieving thief there was sin, for he did not look to Christ for salvation from it.</p>

<p>The relation to Christ of the thieves made all the difference as to their state before God. So is it now. They who believe in Christ have their sins borne away by Christ (<a id="fem446-si6" onclick="return mV('1Pe',2,24);">1Pe 2:24</a>), and those who do not are rewarded according to their works (<a id="fem446-si7" onclick="return mV('Rev',20,12);">Rev 20:12</a>).</p>
