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.
Love in
Christ

If you have
never made the commitment to
receive the love and
life-changing experience of Jesus
Christ, please take a moment to
go
here
and take the first
steps
to salvation.
