TODAY’S PASSAGE:

John 19:1–11 (NLT)
19 Then Pilate had Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip. 2 The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him. 3 “Hail! King of the Jews!” they mocked, as they slapped him across the face. 4 Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.” 5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said, “Look, here is the man!”6 When they saw him, the leading priests and Temple guards began shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”“Take him yourselves and crucify him,” Pilate said. “I find him not guilty.” 7 The Jewish leaders replied, “By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God.” 8 When Pilate heard this, he was more frightened than ever. He took Jesus back into the headquarters[a] again and asked him, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave no answer. 10 “Why don’t you talk to me?” Pilate demanded. “Don’t you realize that I have the power to release you or crucify you?” 11 Then Jesus said, “You would have no power over me at all unless it were given to you from above. So the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”

TRUTH #1

JESUS SUFFERED TO PAY THE PRICE FOR US

(v. 1-3)

Jesus was mocked, beaten, and crowned with thorns. This brutal moment fulfilled prophecy and revealed how deeply He was willing to suffer for us.

The soldiers mocked His kingship, but in reality, He was the King willingly submitting to pain for our salvation.

Even in pain, Jesus was not a victim. He was a willing sacrifice.

Isaiah 53:5 (NLT) – “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole.“

DEFINITION – Mock (Gk. empaizó): to ridicule, make fun of, or treat with contempt.

TRUTH #2

FEAR OF PEOPLE LEADS TO COMPROMISE

TRUTH #3

JESUS IS IN CONTROL EVEN WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S NOT

GIVING

Never trust in the riches of this life, rather, demonstrate trust in God by doing good, being generous to those in need and always being willing to share with others. Doing this enables us to experience true life both now and in eternity.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NLT)
17 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 19 By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.

Encourage everyone to give their tithes and offerings.
