We see what others miss – that for our sakes, our King voluntarily endured the most disgraceful humiliation and rejection. 1. While rejecting Him, they added to His shame by calling together the whole battalion of soldiers to join in the perverse pleasure of fake adoration. (v.16) 2. While rejecting Him, they faked adoring Him with royal purple and a crown, but made of thorns. (v.17) 3. While rejecting Him, they struck Him, spit on Him, faked salutes and honor, and led Him out to crucify Him. (v.18-20) Why were the soldiers allowed to mock Jesus? From what curse did Jesus redeem us? Gen. 3:15-18, 2 Cor. 8:9 How did Jesus become a curse for us? Gal. 3:13, Deut. 21:23 What ought we to be ready to do? Is. 53:7, Rom. 12:1, 2 Tim. 3:12
