So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked Him, (Jesus) saying, “He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. He trusts in God; let God deliver Him now, if He desires Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God,’” And the robbers who were crucified with Him also reviled Him in the same way. Matthew 27:41 – 44
Lord, I wonder how hard it was to take all this ridicule knowing that You could have come down from the cross.
You stayed on that cross to pay the price for my sin and to give me eternal life.
You didn’t try and justify Yourself. You hung there for me.
Because of Your gift we are free today and I thank You.
Thank You Lord.
