LUKE 23:37

and said, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.” - Luke 23:37

Ironic! You didn’t save yourself, but You did save everyone else - proving that You were, without a doubt, the King of the Jews! Heck, if You were only the King of the Jews, You might have saved yourself. Where the soldiers went wrong (well, they went wrong in a lot of ways), but they thought too small. The King of the Jews might save Himself, but the King couldn’t- He was too busy saving everyone else.

I bet there was part of You that would have liked to have done it, just to see the look on their faces, but thank You that You always thought of us before Yourself!
