Replaced by reality
As the son of God hung on the cross something was happening down below him . Those whose feet were touching the ground were as ants that had been disturbed from consuming a dropped piece of food. It seems they were being confronted with their decision to see this man hang above them.
TERMS OF THEIR BELIEF
Mark 15:32
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross that we may see and believe,
This demand sounds like an answer. What were they answering, their conscience? Was conviction at play, already? I'm thinking where did they suddenly have to lay down terms to believe? That man on the cross in the middle of two law breakers preached the gospel and we know we need a called man of God to give a word that those who hear may believe and call. (Romans 10) But these term setters must see to believe and God was already accommodating them. They were seeing what we all as believers know to be the turning point for all of GODS creation. Let me change the focus to what if he had descended down from the cross at that very minute? They would have ran like Jessie Owens ran in front of Hitler and in front of all his elite sprinters. The only difference being these mockers at the cross would be running scared. One day unbelief will be replaced by reality. There is a generation that will have this problem.
He did not come down from the cross. He had people do that for him. They placed him in a borrowed tomb and three days later he got up. Alive for evermore. Will you believe this or see the reality after it's to late?
