Which one are you?

And they crucified Him. Mark 15:25 (NKJV)

It had finally arrived. The reason Jesus was born into humanity and spent

roughly three decades on earth had finally come. As He slowly died on the

cross,
His sinless life was offered as payment for the sins of all mankind, and 
Mark's gospel describes three types of people present at the cross.

Those who passed by blasphemed Him.saying, "Aha! You who destroy the
temple 
and build it in three days, save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

Mark
15:29-30 (NKJV)

First, there were those who blasphemed (or opposed) Jesus at the cross. 
Their eyes were completely blinded to what was happening in front of them.

To them,
this Man's death on the cross was no different than the death of the 
countless criminals who had been crucified.

Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.when the
centurion, 
who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His 
last,
he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!" Mark 15:27-39 (NKJV)

Second, we see someone who was impressed with Jesus on the cross. The
Roman 
centurion who oversaw the execution recognized there was something
different
about this man. This wasn't just another death. But although he was 
impressed and even refers to Jesus as God's Son, we don't see evidence of 
any lasting
impression or personal connection with Him.

There were also women looking on from afar.who also followed Him and 
ministered to Him... Mark 15:40-41 (NKJV)

Third, there were those who had a personal relationship with Jesus. Women

who truly knew Him, who faithfully followed and supported Him from the 
beginning
of His ministry, watched as this Man who had changed countless lives now 
offered His.

Three types of people were at the cross. Now ask yourself which one you
are. 
Are you a blasphemer who disregards what Jesus did on the cross because
you're
blinded to its significance? Are you a person who's impressed but only to
a 
superficial extent? Or are you someone who personally knows Jesus and 
appreciates
the power of the cross?

Think About It.
What does this passage reveal to me about God?
What does this passage reveal to me about myself?
Based on this, what changes do I need to make?
What is my prayer for today?

Now to Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand in
the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our
Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and
