Rejected
| Those who passed by hurled insults at Him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!" In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked Him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but He can't save himself! Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. (Mark15:29-32) |
It's a three-fold rejection.
- From the crowd.
- From the people who should have recognised Him.
- Even from the two crucifixion criminals.
Imagine being utterly rejected by those you came to save.
And dying for them anyway...
