“He saved others, but he can’t save himself…” (Mt27?42)

Does it make sense not to save himself? (v.38-50 )
1. A story happened in a German village — a blacksmith was badly injured when fighting with a mad dog to save his friends . Aftre that he chained himself & said, “If I’m fine give me food, but if I go mad please leave me alone. I give the rest to God.” He died 9 days later, his friends set up a monument in memory of him.

2. The blacksmith did it in times of danger, but Jesus was willing to sacrifice from the first day. The blacksmith sacrificed for friends yet Jesus died for enemies. The blacksmith was praised but Jesus was mocked. But His death completed the salvation. He could not save himself! For if He saved Himself , we have no way for salvation !

Scripture of the day: Matthew 27:32-66 (New International Version)
