JESUS

#88 SON OF THE BLESSED ONE - "And the high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You make no answer?  What is it that these men are testifying against You?"  But He kept silent, and made no answer.  Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the SON OF THE BLESSED ONE?"  And Jesus said, "I AM...And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.  And some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!"  And the officers received Him with slaps in the face."  Mark 14:60-65

Jesus, You are the SON OF THE BLESSED ONE!  Oh Jesus, this scripture wrecks me.  You are on trial and the high priest asks if You are the SON OF THE BLESSED ONE? - You answer "I AM."  From this, they determine You to be worthy of the death penalty.  The Council and Roman officers began to SPIT at You, BLINDFOLD You, BEAT You, and MOCK You.   This has always astounded me - that the Roman soldiers would join in this mockery when they didn't even know what You were being tried for.  It has been said "We are more wicked than we ever believed, but at the same time more loved and accepted than we ever dared to hope."  The truth is that You died for these soldiers and the Council.  You told Your disciples a few days before "And they will MOCK Him and SPIT on Him, and FLOG Him and KILL Him" (Mark 10:34). You KNEW.  You KNEW exactly what was going to happen.  BUT THIS WAS WHY YOU CAME.  At Your crucifixion, You said "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34)   This is beyond my comprehension.   Jesus, You died for me - while I was a sinner - You died.  I am more loved than I could ever dare to hope.  Jesus, I worship You for coming to earth to die for me when I do not deserve it.
