From My Heart... To Yours

This article came to my house several weeks ago. I would like to share it with you now. From my heart... to yours { Thanks to the Church Street Church of Christ in Lewisburg, Tn for this article }

Mark gives a powerful accounting of Jesus. There are two major categories of that suffering; emotional and physical pain.
 

The emotional pain ?

Judas kiss [14:45 ]

Being spit upon [14:65 ; 15:19 ]

The denial of Peter [ 14: 68;70;71 ]

The soldiers mockery [ 15:20 ]

The passers’ by blasphemy [ 15:29 ]

The chief priests mocking [ 15:31 ]

The reviling of the two criminals crucified on either side of Him [ 15:32 ]

The feeling that God had forsaken Him [ 15:34 ]

Crying [ 15:34,37 ]

The physical pain ?

Being blindfolded and beaten [ 14: 65 ]

Being struck by the officers [ 14;65 ]

The immediate trial after a sleepless night [ 15:1 ]

Being bound [ 15:1 ]

Being scourged [ 15:15 ]

The crown of thorns on His head [ 15:17 ]

Being struck on the head with a reed by the soldiers

[ 15:19 ]

Being crucified [ 15:24 ]
