This was for the week of 3/22.
Brothers in Christ,
This week we will view what is the most difficult part of
the movie for me to watch. Before "The Passion of the Christ" I
accepted the scourging as being akin to a harsh whipping but as it turns out it
was so much more.
Jesus knew he would be scourged. He knew that before he died from the torture of the cross he would have to endure a brutal beating at the hands of the Romans. He accepted that beating, and his body was ripped open at the post. He was taking the punishment of the sins of the world so that we might not have to suffer the consequences of our transgressions. By his stripes we are healed.
