Who is Jesus #43 (Savior Cont.)

"He saved others," they said, "but He can't save himself!" (Matt. 27:42). It was intended as a taunt by those standing near the cross. They were trying to make fun of Him -- tempting Him to just jump off that cross.
What they intended as a taunt is, in reality, a fervent truth. If He was going to save others, He would have to die. Salvation for me came through his horrible death on the cross. They were right! It was either Him or me - His choice. He chose me!
In order to save others, He couldn't save Himself.

Be Strong and Courageous,
