Why Didn’t Jesus Come Down From the Cross? | Matthew 27:27–54 KJV Bible Study #biblestudy #kjv

Why did Jesus remain on the cross when He had the power to save Himself? In this verse-by-verse KJV Bible study, we examine Matthew 27:27–54 as Jesus is mocked by Roman soldiers, crowned with thorns, crucified at Golgotha, and willingly gives His life for sinners. The crowd challenged Jesus to come down from the cross, but His refusal was not weakness. If He had saved Himself, He could not have accomplished the work of redemption. The Son of God remained upon the cross because the price of sin had to be paid. In this study we cover: • Jesus mocked by the Roman soldiers • The scarlet robe and crown of thorns • Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross • The crucifixion at Golgotha • The King of the Jews inscription • Why Jesus did not come down from the cross • The darkness over the land • “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” • The veil of the temple torn in two • The earthquake and opened graves • The centurion confessing Jesus as the Son of God This passage brings us to the heart of the Gospel. Jesus Christ was innocent, yet He willingly suffered and died so that sinners could be redeemed through His blood.
