I was reminded in my reading today (Matthew 27:42) that the Jewish chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked Jesus, and said to him....
"He saved others.....but he cannot save himself."
He saved others. This admission came from those who were opposed to Jesus.
They had seen it with their own eyes....they had witnessed the saving life of Jesus.
It was then for some other reason that they had Jesus put to death.
Why? Because "he cannot save himself".
Because he chose not to save himself - chose not to exercise his divine power to save himself because he had a bigger issue on his agenda.
He was going to....not save himself...but save the world by his death on the cross.
And so the Jewish chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders were right......he did save others.
But they were wrong about not being able to save himself....he could have ....but chose not to.
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
