Thank You Jesus

Come down now from the cross
                           - Mark 15:32

Jesus was being heckled and ridiculed on the cross and was asked that if He was the Son of God to come down from the cross.  Every time I read about the cross I want Jesus to come down from the cross and put those ridiculing Him in their place.  I want Jesus to zap them with all His fury.  Yet, if Jesus would have come down from the cross His atonement for our sins would have never took place.  In order to fulfill God's plan for you and me Jesus had to stay put.  The Word of God says that the meek will inherit the earth and we know that one day Jesus will inherit the earth for His people.  His meekness was the strength that you and I needed to have our sins removed.  Don't take the cross for granted - Thank you Jesus is not a strong enough reply from us when it comes to what Jesus did on the cross, although it is what we can offer; but a way of showing our love for Jesus is to love one another as He has loved us and let us live for Him!
