Easter

A while ago, I was explaining to someone the difference between the God of the old testament (the old covenant) with Christ (the new covenant). This is the difference:

There is no difference. If God is perfect and unchanging, it means that the God of the old covenant is the exact same God as the new covenant = Christ is the God of the old testament and the Father is the God of the new testament. So, when you think about it, this means that the Father actually crucified Himself, because the Father and the Son are the exact same God.

The Holy Spirit was also active in the old testament. Make no mistake, it was the Holy Spirit that convicted David of sin (he sinned and sinned, yet God, Himself, stated that David was "a man after God's own heart". How is that possible? Because the HS always convicted David and David ultimately surrendered to humility and repentance), compelled Moses to admit to murder, opened Abram's eyes to the fact that only one God exists (not many gods. Abram's family worshipped many gods. It was only when the HS imprinted the truth on Abram's heart that Abram stopped worshipping multiple gods and began following the one, true God. Much of Abram's story is found in the Talmud), compelled Joseph to forgive his brother's, led Jacob to humble himself and reconcile with his brother, etc. In the old testament, Jesus is often referred to as "the angel of the Lord".

Christ and the HS were not called by name in the old testament, but they were present and active in the old testament.

If the God of the old testament is the exact same God of the new testament, it follows that the Father was crucified = the Father crucified Himself, for our sake.

The three crosses on the hill don't just represent Christ and the two criminals. It also represents that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were all crucified, as they are all one God.
