JESUS MOCKED
Read: Matthew 27:27-31
Then he released Barabbas to them.
But he had Jesus flogged, and
handed Him over to be crucified.
​
The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around Him. They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand. Then they knelt in front of Him and mocked Him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. They spit on Him, and took the staff and struck Him on the head again and again. After they had mocked Him, they took off the robe and put His own clothes on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.
Action:
Take the red marker and have each person make a red mark on the white shirt/cloth to represent the lashes Jesus bore for our sin.

Reflect as you read the lyrics to this song:
"Jesus Paid It All"
​
I hear the Savior say,
Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper's spots
and melt the heart of stone.
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
Jesus died my soul to save,
my lips shall still repeat.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
