It's still going on in Mark 15:1-20. Jesus is making absolutely no attempt to defend Himself. He remains the Isaiah 53 "Lamb who before His shearers is silent".
And now the whole Roman company comes out to dress the bloody scourged Man in a purple robe and spike laced crown in order to mock ("Hail, King of the Jews"). They bow, kneel, spit and beat. You can almost see the devil dancing around this sickening scene. The Good News?
Satan, as is his way, can't stop with this evil charade but goes too far: " Then they led him out to crucify him." And in so doing, he fits right into God's magnificent unimaginable plan.

Next week we will read the details - the end of this story. But God wins! And that victory is for you and me.
Thank you, Lord.
