Mark 15:16-20
Roman
Soldiers Mock Jesus
15:16
The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that
is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole
company of soldiers.
17
They put a purple robe on him, then twisted
together a crown of thorns and set it on him.
18
And they began to call out to him, "Hail, king of
the Jews!"
19
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.
20
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.
This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to change
the way that we think, and the way that we live.
Commentary
by Bob Pardue
Christ and the Roman
Soldiers
The Romans were
well-practiced in torture so Jesus was led through
all kinds of torment and mockery.
Little did the soldiers know
that Christ would prevail in the end and not only
become the king of the Jews, but the king of all
humanity sitting at the right hand of
God.
The crucifixion of Christ is
a tough story to read but it is the best way to
explain what Jesus went through in order for us to
live. How often do we worship Him?
Love in Christ
- Bob
If you have never made the
commitment to receive the love and life-changing
experience of Jesus Christ, please take a moment to
read
John 3:16 and take
the first
steps to salvation.
