When Jesus died, He was not saved, as he bore our sins and died as a sinner. As if the Father in Heaven had forsaken His Son, Jesus died. And when the Son entered the tomb as a corpse, the Father resurrected His Son's body.
Let's not forget the cross of Jesus. He calls us to the path to the cross. If we understand the grace of Jesus bearing the cross for us, we too want to bear our cross for Jesus. We should not become like those who mocked in front of the cross. It means that although we may be mocked by people while carrying our own cross, we should not mock those who are bearing their cross.
