Matthew 27:35-36 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots (36) And sitting down they watched him there;
WHAT WAS THEIR REACTIONS
Many mocked Jesus as He died for their sins. Today many are still mocking and making fun of Him. It is sad that so many when they mention the name of Jesus do it in a derogatory fashion. They are no different than the mockers of that day who sat and watched Him suffer in their place, and they still mocked Him.
Most of the ones present rejected the fact that He could save others. They said that He couldn't even save Himself. We know that He could have but He chose to suffer death for all men and then to overcome it for them too.
Some actually believed. One of the thieves on the other crosses believed and Jesus promised to see Him in paradise. The Centurion in charge of the soldiers said "Surely this is the Son of God."
Hopefully many today who are just sitting and watching will realize who Jesus really is and they will be saved. I hope if you have just been sitting and watching that you will want to know more about how what Jesus did there means to you.
