The Gospel Illustrated "... they crucified Him, and with Him two others -- one on each side and Jesus in the middle." (John 19:18)
For more than three thousand years these two Chinese
characters have been used. The character on the left,
which is in use today, means "COME". The one on
the right was one of the ancient variations of its modern
form "ERA", |

 If you are more careful, you will find more
in the character on the left. Note that the position of
the Middle Person  is lower than both the persons on
His side. This illustrates perfectly what the Bible says
in 2 Corinthians 5:21 "God made Him Who had no
sin to be sin [offering] for us, so that in Him we might
become the righteousness of God." When Jesus of Nazareth was hanging on the cross between heaven and earth, God the Father made the One Who did not know sin (according to the original Greek New Testament) to be SIN. At this moment, He turned away from His Son. And then God the Father poured down His wrath toward sin onto His Only Beloved Son, as if His Son was the SIN itself. No wonder Jesus cried out on the cross: "My Father, my Father, why have you forsaken me?" That was the worst moment for God and His Son, and yet the start of the best times for sinners held fast by the power of sin. The One Who was from the highest, now became the lowest for us. He lowered Himself not only by becoming flesh, but by taking our sin and entering the pit of death. Indeed this was the greatest obedience a man ever manifested to God: "... became obedient to death, even death on the cross." (Philippians 2:8b) Will you accept -- or have you accepted -- the One Who came from the center of Universe and entered the center of the Earth, for you and me?
