The horror of the crucifixion of the Christ. The day started with Jesus being tried illegally by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish leaders who didn’t want to upset the status quo. This was followed by his mock trial by Pilate, who didn’t want to upset the Emperor. He was mocked and scourged to the point that he couldn’t carry his own cross to the Place of the Skull where he would be crucified. The Lord of the Universe allowed himself be humiliated and tortured to save us from the consequences of our choices, our actions. We bear his cross.
