Save yourself! If you're really God's son, come down from the cross!
Jesus came to save the world. It was a great work of grace for human beings who could not escape from sin by themselves. But the Jews shouted to Jesus on the cross to save himself. Because Jesus was truly the Son of God, he had to take up the cross. The ignorant shouted that if he came down from the cross, they would believe that he was the Son of God. They really didn't know what they were doing.
"They did no know what they were doing."
Jesus, who overcame Satan's temptation with the word, was the Son of God, but he did not perform miracles for himself. He did not misuse his good powers. Jesus knew his own calling and he followed his own way silently at Pilate's question - ' Are you the king of the Jews?'
"Nothing could stop Jesus."
The crucifixion was a great historical work in which the logos of God accomplished His will on this earth. Nothing could stop Jesus. The happiest people are those who quietly walk their own way. The people shouted for a miracle, but in the end they could not say anything in the face of Jesus' silence. The world has finally admitted that Jesus is the Son of God.
