Being Mocked:
The Essence Of
Christ's Work,
Not Muhammad's
What we saw in the past few weeks in the Islamic demonstrations
over the Danish cartoons of Muhammad was another vivid depiction
of the difference between Muhammad and Christ, and what it means
to follow each. Not all Muslims approve the violence. But a deep lesson
remains: The work of Muhammad is based on being honored and the
work of Christ is based on being insulted. This produces two very
different reactions to mockery.
If Christ had not been insulted, there would be no salvation. This was
His saving work: to be insulted and die to rescue sinners from the wrath
of God. Already in the Psalms the path of mockery was promised: “All
who see me mock me; they make mouths at Me; they wag their heads”
(Psalm 22:7). “He was despised and rejected by men . . . as one from whom
men hide their faces . . . and we esteemed Him not” (Isaiah 53:3).

One day, a man decided to wash his sweatshirt. Seconds
after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to his
wife, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," she replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "UNC*."
