NAKED under a CROWN OF THORNS

So far we have seen...

• All the disciples dump Jesus                                       
• ALL elders and priests conspire to put Jesus to death         
• ALL the people beg for His crucifixion

Now ALL the Roman band gather to strip this innocent Man - after He has been flogged!

Whatever for?                                                     

To give Him a mock coronation with A CROWN OF THORNS, scarlet robe, slapping and spitting. (Matt 27:27-44)

It’s no wonder Jesus was unable to carry his cross all the way... but still he refuses a sedative.

Who is this Man, nailed up between two thieves who also give him ‘a kick in the teeth’?

“This is Jesus, the King of the Jews”

What did that prophecy say?

                        

“They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture”

Yes, Israel’s Messiah is naked under a crown of thorns, nailed up to be mocked by all.
