Mark 15:32 “Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him reviled Him.”
And would they believe? They hadn’t believed up to this point, why would this change anything. These men had lived in hypocrisy so long, the truth was elusive to them. Though there were some who’s conscience pricked them more, their fear of man was greater.
We know that one of the thieves was saved on this day. But, it seems that he at first mocked Christ with the rest of them. Likely, he was taken in by what the Jewish leaders were saying, thinking them genuine. Thus, he probably just repeated what he heard. Keep in mind too that early on he may have been under the influence of the wine and myrrh mixture that Jesus rejected.
Heavenly Father, may we be delivered from taking part in mocking. We would bring honor to You in all things. Your praise shall always be in our mouths. Give us opportunities for witnessing, and for praising. We will lift high the Name of Christ. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
