4/10 Matthew 27:26-31
So Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified. 27 Some of the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into their headquarters and called out the entire regiment. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They wove thorn branches into a crown and put it on his head, and they placed a reed stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery and taunted, “Hail! King of the Jews!” 30 And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and struck him on the head with it. 31 When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.
TRADE
Jesus was traded for sin. He went to the Cross for me and for you. His death paid the price of our sin. I don’t understand it because it is more than anything I could do but I know it and I know that Jesus died for me and He died for you. While we were dead in our trespasses and sin Jesus paid the ultimate price-His life for my life, for your life. Jesus died on the Cross so that we can born again into the family of God and have a relationship with Him.
