Theme: Followers of Christ should recognize the deep love our Savior had for us by being mocked and scorned so we might be healed and live. In v. 63, Jesus is mocked and beaten in fulfillment of Isaiah 50:6. In v. 64, Jesus is blindfolded, and they continue to mock Him. In v. 65, Jesus is blasphemed. According to historical writings, Jesus was called a sorcerer and a deceiver of the people. So why does Luke paint this gruesome display of what happened to Jesus? As we reflect on this, we must realize what Christ has done for us. It's not something that we get over. It's not make a decision for Jesus and then move on our own way. We are to understand the serious penalty of sin we were under, the love of God that set us free, and the healing that is found in Christ.
