When the Lord was to be crucified, His persecutors laughed at Him and mockingly called Him ‘King of the Jews;’ they even rammed a crown of thorns on His head. But now, He is King over all the earth and that’s no mockery. The Bible even says He has made us kings and priests unto God.
What those soldiers and priests didn’t realize while crucifying Jesus was that He really was the King of glory. They didn’t know they were actually fulfilling the gospel by crucifying Him. The Scriptures say, “…we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).
I don’t know if anyone has ever mocked you, laughed at you and called you names like, ‘Miss Holiness,’ ‘Saint Sue,’ ‘Brother of Jesus’…They think they’re calling you names, what they don’t know is they’re not far from the truth at all! They’re laughing at you but they’re laughing you to victory. Very soon, they’ll see the hand of God upon your life. They’ll see the glory of God that will shine forth from you. I thank God because He is a promoter of people. Man cannot promote you, only God promotes. God is the Lifter. He will lift you and promote you. If they laughed at Jesus, they’ll sure laugh at you! Look at it in your Bible – the people laughed at Jesus and told Him, “Save Yourself and come down from the cross. You saved others, now save Yourself!” What they didn’t realize was that with their mockery, they were actually bringing the gospel into reality. They mocked our Lord Jesus Christ to victory and the same is happening with you today, so cheer up!
