Moment of Meditation: Mocked

MESSIANIC PROPHECY: Mocked

Prophecy:

Everyone who sees me laughs at me;
they whisper to one another I'm a loser;
they sneer and mock me, saying,
"He relies on the Eternal;
let the Eternal rescue him."
(Psalm 22:7-8 Voice)

Fulfillment:

The people stood looking on, and their rulers jeered at him: "He saved others: now let him save himself, if this is God's Messiah, his Chosen." The soldiers joined in the mockery and came forward offering Him their sour wine. "If you are the King of the Jews," they said, "save yourself."
(Luke 23:35-37 NEB)

Thought:

Reliance on God is no laughing matter. David would find that God would crush his taunting enemies in battle. Jesus overlooked the rude remarks and chose to save His enemies from the same death they were about to inflict upon Him. Amen.
