Scripture of the Week

 
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”
Galatians 4:4-6 (ESV)

Spitting on Him and Kneeling Down
Dr. Chris Moore
 

Mark 15:6-20

Jesus is found guilty for claiming to be the King when He is the King.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus is innocent but He dies like a criminal in the place of a criminal who goes free.

 

 

 

 

 

 

These actions against Jesus are evil and yet this is God’s will and plan.
