Mark 15:31 “Likewise the chief priests also, mocking among themselves with the scribes, said, “He saved others; Himself He cannot save.”
These men comforted their conscience with these words. The guilty feel it and must justify themselves. Mocking only adds sin to sin, but it is one of the devil’s tricks and easy for men to fall into.
It is funny that in their taunt they freely admit that he saved others. Indeed, one of Jesus’s most notable miracles, raising Lazarus, was something they found it impossible to deny. There were too many witnesses.
Heavenly Father, thank You for another day. You give us each day to use for Your glory. We think of it as ours. You know it is Yours. We will honor where honor is due. Serving You, though our duty, is our pleasure and privilege. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
