Crawl

"Save yourself! Come down from the cross!" Mark 15:30.

Yeah, you went around all so arrogant saving others, let's see how much of a savior you are at all! Undo those nails! Show us! Crawl down off that cross! Then we'll believe you're somebody special! What?! Christ?! King?! King of Israel? Yeah. Sure. Come on down! Let's see you do that! Can't you even save yourself? Jeering the pretender. Mocking the joker. Humiliating the fool. (We're good at that.)

We meet a brother or sister today ashamed of our ancestral slur, and of our own. And together we plead for the mercy God's fool bought for us in his abasement.
