In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the 15th chapter of Mark and reads a verse about the centurion who witnessed Jesus' crucifixion and declared him to be the Son of God. The preacher emphasizes the significance of this declaration and suggests that the story of Calvary is not just a historical event but has relevance even today. He describes the soldiers who were present at the crucifixion, noting their greed for worldly possessions and their cowardice. The preacher also mentions the soldiers' act of casting lots for Jesus' garments, highlighting their callousness and lack of reverence.

David Servant preaches on the crucifixion of Jesus, highlighting the intense suffering He endured, His refusal to lessen the pain as He bore the weight of our sins, and His ultimate sacrifice to fulfill God's will. Despite the mockery and division among the spectators, Jesus showed love and forgiveness, even towards His executioners and the repentant thief on the cross, demonstrating God's amazing grace and mercy that offers salvation to all, regardless of their past sins or the timing of their repentance.

G. Campbell Morgan explores the profound irony in the mocking words of the religious rulers, 'He saved others; Himself He cannot save,' highlighting their ignorance of the true nature of Jesus' mission. He emphasizes that Jesus' inability to save Himself was a deliberate act of strength, rooted in His commitment to save humanity through His sacrifice on the Cross. Morgan illustrates that while the rulers saw Jesus as defeated, He was actually fulfilling His purpose, demonstrating that true power often lies in self-sacrifice. The sermon calls believers to embrace this principle, suggesting that to truly save others, one must be willing to forgo self-preservation. Ultimately, Morgan concludes that Jesus' refusal to save Himself was the very act that made salvation possible for others.
