Bible passage

(29) And those who passed by kept reviling Him and reproaching Him abusively in harsh and insolent language, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You Who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, (30) Now rescue Yourself [from death], coming down from the cross! (31) So also the chief priests, with the scribes, made sport of Him to one another, saying, He rescued others [from death]; Himself He is unable to rescue. (32) Let the Christ (the Messiah), the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see [it] and trust in and rely on Him and adhere to Him! Those who were crucified with Him also reviled and reproached Him [speaking abusively, harshly, and insolently]. Mark 15:29-32

My thoughts

I would not say much in words about this. I pity the people of that times, and the ones nowadays that do not understand Christ’s sacrifice. They mocked Jesus saying that He rescued others, but is unable to rescue Himself. Actually, in that moments He was doing the actual rescuing of all the people that believe in His sacrifice. His power didn’t stay in the ability to go down the cross. Of coarse He could have done that. But, His was in staying there, on the cross, for me and you. He stood there, he suffered instead of me, the was the supreme sacrifice. He died so I could live. And not the life as we see it now. Not this earthly life, but the eternal life.
