Read: John 19:1-16(NKJV)
1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.
2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.
3 Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands.
4 Pilate then went out again, and said to them, “Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.”
5 Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”
6 Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.”
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”
8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid,
9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?”
11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
12 From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”
15 But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16 Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 25TH FEBRUARY 2025.
In our text, Pilate scourged and chastised Jesus, to please the Jews who were insistent on doing injustice to a just Saviour. The soldiers made a piercing crown of thorns and placed it as a mock-crown on the head of Jesus. They also put on him a humiliating purple robe to debase his kingship. All these were done to make mockery of the acclaimed King of the Jews who they needed but would not accept. However, in their ignorance, these soldiers were only fulfilling prophecy that would be for the healing and deliverance of all who would believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. (Isa. 53:5). This is the price Christ paid for our healing and deliverance.
Note that what Jesus suffered is not only for our physical healing, but for our spiritual healing too. It is not only for the healing of individual believers, but equally for the healing of families, communities and nations who turn to Him, and indeed everything that is sick including vocations and businesses. You must remember that this sacrificial provision in Christ is for your total healing from every sickness, and deliverance from every thorn and robe of mockery in your life and family. This great price was also paid for your spiritual healing and deliverance (salvation), if you are not yet saved. It takes active and living faith to receive this provision for our benefit.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, may my nation, family and I be healed by your stripes and pain, Amen!
