I Killed Jesus, and Jesus saved me!
From time to time we develop NOTW shirts that are extremely thought provoking and the newly developed "I Killed Jesus" is most certainly one of them. We are praying that many people will come to faith by the powerful scripture on this shirt and through your efforts in sharing the gospel."...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst." 1 Timothy 1:15 I have personally worn this shirt and know firsthand how it quickly leads many to ask, "What does this mean?" Please let me share a normal dialogue below that you can expect, and how you can use it to share the gospel message of grace, truth and love of Jesus.
You killed Jesus???...What...???
Yes, it was my sin that sent Jesus to the cross.
What sin? Do you mean to tell me that you are a sinner?
Well yes... I am a sinner, God calls us to be perfect but who is? If you have ever lied, cheated, stolen or even had any bad thoughts in your head, the Bible considers that sin.
Wow...I never really thought of it that way. But why did our sin cause Jesus to be crucified?
Because God sent His son Jesus to this earth to pay the penalty for our sins. In the Bible, God says that the penalty for any sin is hell. I am sure you do not want to go to hell when you die, do you?
God forbid you died tonight, would you go to Heaven? How does a person get to Heaven???
God forbid you died tonight, would you go to Heaven? How does a person get to Heaven???
I’ve done more good than bad. I think I am basically a good moral person.
Well... I hate to tell you the bad news, but you cannot earn your way into Heaven by your good works.
Well then, how does a man go to Heaven if we are all sinners and you cannot earn your way into Heaven??
Great question. The Bible says there is only one God, and one way to God and Heaven, and that it is through faith in God's son Jesus Christ.
Do you mean that by simply believing in my heart that Jesus can be my Lord and Savior, I can go to Heaven?
Yes, we are saved by our faith in Jesus. God loves you so much that He sent His one and only son Jesus Christ to save us from the due and just penalty for our sins... Hell.
So how do you get faith? What must a person do to go to Heaven?
You pray to God and ask Him to forgive your sins. You place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, to be the Lord and Savior of your life. You ask God to make you the man or woman He wants you to be.

Isaiah 53:10
But the LORD was pleasedTo crush Him, putting Him to grief;If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,He will see His offspring,He will prolong His days,And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
Though the reason to sacrifice Jesus was to atone for our sins God was the one who killed Jesus.

My husband and I oversee the children's ministry at our church. We were hosting
VBS last week and the theme was the underground church with Paul in Rome. We emphasized the Ichthys symbol--the fish--and how the early church used that as a
secret symbol to mark meeting places or to distinguish friends from foe. As I was driving to VBS one day I saw the "Not of this World" emblem on the
windshield of a truck and received an epiphany that I believe came from God...the NOTW symbol is a modern day Ichthys for Christians. Keep up the amazing work that God has called you to do Aurelio.
