42 He saved others, but He cannot save Himself! He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. 43 He trusts in God; let God rescue Him now — if He takes pleasure in Him! For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’ ~ Matthew 27:42-43CSB
As Jesus hung on the cross, the chief priests, elders, and scribes all mocked Him. By mocking Him, they unintentionally mocked God the Father as well. See, this was the very thing the Father sent Jesus to do. This was the very purpose the Father sent Jesus for, to save them from their sins, yet they mocked Him.
By saying if He was chosen by God and had favor of God, they mocked the very plan of God. They mocked the salvation plan that God wrote to save their souls, yet they couldn’t see because of their tradition. Their traditions had blinded them to the Truth, so arrogantly mocked their savior and their God without even realizing it.
This Easter, let us strive to throw out the old wine and allow God to fill us with new wine. Let God show us His Truth instead of our tradition.
Dear LORD, thank You for taking my sin upon Yourself. Thank You for loving me enough to stay on the cross. Thank You for interceding on my behalf. Please search me and correct anything in that contradicts Your Truth. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
