Luke 23:37
« If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself. »
MEDITATION:
The soldiers who watched Jesus mocked him when he was on the cross: approaching, and presenting him with vinegar, they said to him:
« If you, you are the King of the Jews, save yourself » (v 35-37).
That’s how people make fun of us when they find us in difficult situations and conditions.
Those who laugh at us arrogantly remind us of the words we once said frankly, jokingly or unconsciously, wonderful or unpleasant moments we spent in our past, to taunt us, make fun of us or criticize us.
And when they find us in difficult situations, they think it’s over for us!
Jesus had said that he was a king, and those who mocked him, believing it was over for him when they saw him on the cross, found that they were wrong when they saw him again risen.
Indeed, all those who laugh at the people they find in difficult situations, are also mistaken.
God never abandons those who believe and trust Him.
Whether we are criticized, mocked or even condemned, nothing should worry or discourage us if we are aware that He whom we recognize as our King and our Savior, Jesus Christ, can save us from any situation.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us confidence in you when the world turns against us.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
