Hi GAMErs,<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s passage is John 19:1-16.\u00a0\u00a0Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

John 19:1-3 (NIV)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\n1\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.
\n2\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe
\n3\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they struck him in the face.<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 1-3:\u00a0\u00a0There are no words to describe the kind of shame, suffering and humiliation Jesus went through on our behalf, even before he was sentenced to die on a cross.\u00a0That includes the flogging of Jesus\u2019 body, the mocking of Jesus by placing\u00a0\u00a0a crown of thorns on his head and a purple robe, the verbal abuse and the physical beatings Jesus received.\u00a0\u00a0Though Jesus was innocent and the last person who deserved this kind of treatment, Jesus willingly suffered all of this for us from people who could not come close to Jesus\u2019 integrity and innocence.<\/p>\n

John 19:4-16 (NIV)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
\n4\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
\n5\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
\n6\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!” But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”
\n7\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0The Jews insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.”
\n8\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid,
\n9\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
\n10\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0“Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”
\n11\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”<\/em>
\n12\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jews kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”
\n13\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha).
\n14\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.
\n15\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.
\n16\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 4-16:\u00a0\u00a0Pilate was the Roman governor and in this scene, every action he takes, every decision he makes, and every conversation he engages in, whether with the Jews or with Jesus himself, is him trying to exercise and display his authority.\u00a0\u00a0Yet Jesus hits the nail on the head in verse 11 when he says, \u201cYou would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0In other words, all authority ultimately comes from God above.\u00a0\u00a0There is no human being who has inherent authority apart from God.\u00a0\u00a0Any authority any person ever has is because God decided in His mercy and wisdom to give that person such authority.\u00a0\u00a0So may we have a humble attitude toward any authority that we are given, realizing that authority ultimately comes from God and does not stem from us.<\/p>\n

Jesus, the very people You came to serve and to save handed You over to be humiliated, embarrassed, beaten and eventually killed.\u00a0\u00a0Misunderstood and humiliated, You took on a kind of shame and pain that is far beyond what most of us can imagine. There are no words to describe all the suffering and humiliation You went through.\u00a0\u00a0I stand in awe of You and the fact that You went through all that suffering, pain and humiliation for all of us.\u00a0\u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name, AMEN!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
