Reflection that makes for progress

and in the words of a wise man, think and think until thinking hurts.

The statement credited to John in this version sits well with us human beings as man would like to push his burden to other to carry. Having someone else to carry his can massage man’s proclivity to relieve himself of responsibility. In some other editions, the translation by Martin Luther is preferred. That reads: Behold the Lamb of God that beareth the sin of the world. According to higher knowledge spreading on earth today, it is his that is correct.

It is also being made plain in the verses that each person bears responsibility for what he thinks, says or does until the weavings drop off him, also off his soul. All activities are deposits on the soul, to uplift or press it down. It is, therefore, not possible for a person to carry the sins of another. Everyone has to atone for his own wrongdoing, weaknesses and faults and it is he alone that can forgive the wrong his neighbour has done to him and vice-versa.

From the foregoing, it can be seen that since the Lord Jesus sowed only love and thought of peace even in the face of deliberate provocations, he was not connected with the ethereal threads of the sins of mankind and could not, therefore, die for their sins nor could He have carried them away. He died because of the sins of mankind as they did not recognise Him as the Messiah and rejected Him as the Saviour.

The footnote at the bottom of the Christian Standard Bible says “Roman flogging was done with a whip made of leather strips embedded with pieces of bone or metal that brutally tore the flesh.” It is further reported: “Those who passed by were yelling insults at Him, shaking their heads and saying, “The One who would demolish the sanctuary and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son Of God, come down from the cross.

However, Caiaphas and the elders rejected it as blood money not to be put in the temple treasury. Judas himself committed suicide and was buried where criminals were usually interred outside the city.
