God comes to this world in human form, and the end result was just as He taught all along: that mankind would try to destroy even God in order to maintain its own ideals, power, and position. Is God then (in allowing us to destroy His Son to show our ideals can only lead to one end), teaching us that we should be glad He died for our sins OR that we should be ashamed of our ways that led to His demise (ways we practice and defend still), and lead us to repent of our self serving ways in order to receive the benefit of the forgiveness, resurrection, and the Kingdom that Jesus taught and offers?
I am ashamed of the ideals that wished for Him to exist no more and glad for the chance to repent of those ideals. Be ashamed. Own the responsibility for harbouring the ideals that killed Jesus before claiming the joy forgiveness can bring. The accusing spirit of the "religious" Pharisees remains today.
It verified, if there was any doubt in man's mind, that our rebellious nature was not only our own worst enemy but unforgivably anti-God in comparison, no matter how Godly we think ourselves to be (and that includes today). Yet what did God do? Forgave and forgives still if we but repent of the ideals of man that we deemed important enough to execute God over.
