Matthew 27:27-31

Jesus was mocked by the soldiers Matthew 27:27-31: Jesus was mocked and humiliated in every possible way. He was dressed in a scarlet robe like a king. They probably decided that a king needs a crown. They platted a crown of thorns and put it on His precious head. As if that were not painful and humiliating enough, they gave Him a "scepter" to hold in His precious hands. It was a reed. Then they began to mock Him, and bow their knees to Him, and say to Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" Hail means greetings, good health to you, live long to you. They spat on Jesus, struck Him with a reed, dressed Him again in His own clothes and led Him away for the crucifixion. Why did Christ have to suffer so? Jesus suffered this agony because He loved us and He did not want any of us to die without hope! His suffering causes us to see a vivid picture in our own minds of the ugliness of sin .
