Theme: Though Jesus is mocked, He remains silently confident in and submissive to His Father's sovereign plan for the redemption of His people. In vv. 6-9, Jesus is sent to Herod for trial and remains silent, answering not a word. Jesus is mocked by Herod in vv. 10-11, and His enemies, Pilate and Herod become friends in v. 12. As we reflect on this account of what Jesus suffered for us, there are some lessons we can learn. 1. Beware of making God your entertainment. Our God is a consuming fire! 2. Model Jesus's self-control. 3. Assess Jesus's innocence: Injustice was done, that holy justice might be done on Jesus so that we might receive mercy. 4. Value silence: As Proverbs has shown us, wisdom does not cast pearls before swine; we can have confidence as Jesus did that prophecy will be fulfilled. Jesus knew Who was in charge, and we can trust and rest our lives in God's hands and sovereign control as Jesus did. May we look at Christ and see the incredible steadfast love He has for us. He was unjustly accused, that we might be brought to God. Hallelujah what a Savior!
