In the court of the high priest God was humiliated. The Creator was accused of irreverence. The Almighty was accused of blasphemy. The Way, the Truth, and the Life was proclaimed to be a deceiver and liar deserving death.

 

God was humiliated. Mark reports that the leaders blindfolded Jesus. Some gathered around him and spit in his face as an ultimate sign of shame. Others released their anger by striking him with their fists. Still, others slapped Jesus with their open hands. They mocked Jesus by taunting him to prophesy who had hit him.

 

God was humiliated. With the angels poised at the edge of heaven to charge, the Word remained silent. He prepared to be delivered as the perfect sacrifice for sin. He did it all for us.
