16 And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters), and they called together the whole battalion. 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 19 And they were striking his head with a reed and spitting on him and kneeling down in homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him.
The powerful use their words to shame the Holy Almighty and Eternal God. There are many who use word and deeds to offer mocking to God the Almighty. While they mock does God stand idly by? God is constantly bringing his Kingdom forth. Even as the King of Israel is crowned with thorns and cursed by those around him.
The Soldiers ready Jesus for crucifixion. They mock him as he is readied for the greatest battle of creation. Jesus prepares for his death and facing the penalty for the sins of his people.
We use words from our lips to attack and condemn enemies. We use our words even when we have no strength in our arms. The old saying sticks and stones can break my bones, but words shall never hurt me, have been proven false. Words sometimes do more harm than deeds could ever do. God will not be mocked.
God has shown his victory over death. He has claimed victory through this pain and suffering of Jesus Christ. Jesus dies so that you are offered life eternal.
