It isn’t really pleasant to think about what Jesus willingly endured for us in the moments prior to His crucifixion, but it does foster a genuine sense of gratitude, appreciation, and admiration for Him within me.  We deserved this punishment, but He endured it.  We deserved the accusations, but He took them.  We deserved the rejection, yet He put up with it so we could be welcomed into His everlasting kingdom as children of God who are made holy and blameless in His sight.

Jesus was accused, arrested, and scourged to set us free.  He experienced sorrow to bring us joy.  He experienced and defeated death to grant us life.  He is worthy of our trust and thanksgiving.
