Day5
Mark15:32
“Let the ‘Messiah,’ the ‘king of Israel,’ pull out the nails and come down from the cross right now. We’ll believe it when we see it!” Even the two criminals who were crucified with Jesus began to taunt him, hurling insults on him.”
Mark 15:32 TPT
Cross references
Matthew 27:44;
Luke 23:39–43; John19:18
Two thieves
Mark, Matthew and John briefly mention these men and move on to the death of Jesus. In Luke’s account we are given more details.
Have you ever experienced the same event with someone and as you each recall it the experience was vastly different for you both?
Even sitting in the same church service in the same pew with another person. We seem to glean very differently.
The two thieves were both on a cross right beside Jesus. They experienced His presence very differently.
One man joined in with the crowd and ridiculed Jesus.
The other man humbly honored Him and asked for forgiveness for his own sins.
We are faced with this choice many times in our daily life.
Even after we receive Jesus as our personal Savior, we are still tempted to join the crowd and forget about what Jesus did for us.
We are tempted to confess our weaknesses instead of His strength.
He suffered, died and arose from death, hell and the grave!
We have victory!
Remember that in your daily endeavors.
Speak strength.
Speak life.
Speak from victory in Jesus!
