Matthew 27 Pt.6 – Jesus Is Mocked!

As if the flogging and scourging of Jesus was not enough, He was brought into the barracks of the Governor, and there the whole battalion was gathered, a number ranging between a few hundred to as many as 600 auxiliary troops; that is troops made up from the peoples of the surrounding regions, who were not kindly disposed towards the Jews, and would find having “The King of The Jews”, a great for of entertainment. Aside from dressing Jesus up as an Emperor and mockingly paying homage to Him, they then began to spit on Him and beat Him with their hands, and with the reed that they had placed in His right hand. All this was to mock Him and discourage any would-be followers of Him. Would you follow a Jesus like that? Maybe you’d prefer a conquering King, one who gives you all that you could want. Are you aware of who He really is, and that He holds the Universe in His hands?
