Mocking the King: Jesus’ Trial and Crucifixion
Weekly Devotional 6.23.2025
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” Galatians 3:13
Towards the end of Jesus’s earthly ministry, the religious leaders’ plan was always to swiftly condemn and execute Him (Matt. 26:1-5). The late evening trial and false witnesses served as methods to expedite His death sentence. When the crowds testified against Jesus and mocked Him, oppressing and afflicting Him, He remained silent and endured their actions as the Suffering Servant (Isa. 53:7). They were witnessing the prophecies about the Messiah unfold. Still, their religiosity and political loyalty blinded them from seeing who Jesus truly was.
