Good Friday - Behold Your King

After Jesus was scourged with 39 lashes and mocked by the soldiers, he was returned to Pilate. At that moment, Pilate turned to the crowd and said, "Behold the Man, Your King!" He was seeking to elicit a pardon from the crowd at the sight of the battered and abused Christ, but no pardon would be granted from the crowd. "Crucify Him!" was the response received. This statement, "Behold the Man," was the fulfillment of Jeremiah the prophet's lamentation, "I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath" (Lam 3:1). Inspiration: John 19:14-15.
