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. As we reflect on how Jesus was beaten, blindfolded, and blasphemed, we should believe and meditate on the fact that Christ is our substitute. He was considered unclean, and He was condemned for our blasphemy. Jesus knew no sin, yet He took our sin that we might be made the righteousness of God. Secondly, we need to believe and reflect on the truth that Christ is our propitiation. God's righteousness and great love are shown in the fact that He poured out His wrath on his Son because of our sin.
In order for us to be accepted by God, His wrath against our sin had to be appeased. Thirdly, we need to believe that Christ is our mercy. Propitiation and mercy are connected. His sacrifice was accepted by the Father. He suffered that we might receive mercy!
