Helping others!

It reminds me of the story about Jesus on the cross, when people next to him who was being crucified as well, said,

"He saved others. Now let him save himself."

And of course there was no possibility of Jesus saving himself by getting off the cross then and there.

here is a quote, King James Version, Matthew 27:

Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

Much of what passes as helping others is a way of saying, "I cannot help myself, the pitiful specimen than I am. So I will make show by working to save others.
