The Soldiers Mock Jesus

Mark  15:16-20 — Mt 27:27-31

  The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace  (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers.   They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him.   And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!”    Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him.

Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him.   And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out  to crucify him.

Who God Is

 Exodus 34:6-7
And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate  and gracious God, slow to anger,  abounding in love  and faithfulness,    maintaining love to thousands,  and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.  Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;  he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”

Don’t Look Back

Philippians 3:13-14
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind  and straining toward what is ahead,   I press on  toward the goal to win the prize  for which God has called  me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Inseparable

Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?  Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?    As it is written:

Accepted in the Beloved

Ephesians 1:6
to the praise of his glorious grace,  which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
