Verse of the day: “Everyone who sees me mocks me; they let go of their lips and move their heads. “(Psalm 22. 7)
Mockery was one of the great ingredients of our Lord’s affliction; Judas Iscariote mocked him in the garden. The high priests and scribes mocked the Lord Jesus and denigrated him; Herod despised the Lord Jesus; the servants and soldiers mocked the Lord Jesus and brutally insulted him; Pilate and his guards ridiculed the royalty of the Lord Jesus. On the cross, of all tipo. de insulting jokes and horrible insults to Jesus. Ridiculousness is always a difficult thing to bear. However, when we are in intense anguish, ridicule is so callous and cruel that it hurts the depths of our being.
- Imagine the crucified Savior.
- Suffering far greater agony than any mortal could imagine; So visualize this motley crowd.
- All shaking their heads or pricking their lips in bitter contempt for this suffering victim! Certainly.
- There should be more to the Crucified than these people imagined; for if it had not been so.
- This numerous and heterogeneous crowd would not have honored him with such contempt.
- Was not the confession of this multitude really perverse that.
- At the very moment of its apparent greatest triumph.
- Despite everything.
- It could do nothing but mock the victorious goodness that reigned on the cross? O Jesus.
- Rejected and despised by men (see Isaiah 53: 3).
- How could you die for the men who have treated you so cruelly? You have a wonderful and divine love without measure.
- Like them.
- We have despised you in the moment of our stubbornness; And.
- Even after the new birth.
- We have given the world a high place in our hearts.
- Despite this.
- You were crucified to heal our wounds and you died to give us life.
- Oh.
- If we could put you on a high and glorious throne in the hearts of all men! We would spread your praise over land and sea until.
- Universally.
- Men adore you.
- As before.
- They unanimously rejected you.
