"When he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified." Matthew 27:26
God incarnate, sovereign over all universes, stood silent as men condemned Him. He accepted abuse and ridicule. A magnificent power must have kept Him from the natural human temptation to retaliate. It was greater than self discipline, stronger than brawn. It was love. It was His great human and divine love for me that grounded Him in those moments He knew if He shrank from the test, I would be lost. He loves me more than his comfort. He loves me more than his reputation. Ultimately, He loves me more than His life.
