As our Lord walked this earth, He came in touch with three items He would encounter again on His day of crucifixion – the scourge, the thorns, and the robe.
When He first encounters each item, He attacks the lies and the false religion it represents.
Each of these items revisited Him in a painful way at the end of His life. He died, was buried and rose victorious over the symbols and the sin they represent. He offered a simple salvation of faith alone, and the power to shed the man-made trappings of religion.

The Scourge of the Crucifixion – Religion for Profit
Thorns of the Crucifixion – Religion with no Fruit
Robe of the Crucifixion – Religion for Show
We have tried to impress our family with the thought that “Easter” should be celebrated every day. Without the Resurrection, there is no victory over sin, hell, and death.
May your heart rejoice with Resurrection power!
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
~
Love you. Happy Easter.
Thank you – very inspiring post!
That’s why we celebrate DAILY! Reminds me of a sermon I heard as a young believer, “It’s FRIDAY, but SUNDAY is coming!” May your heart daily rejoice.
This is a week spent in great torment and yet it is I who is tormenting me. The knowledge that the Christ gave His all for me and yet it is I who nail Him to the cross. Yet come Sunday morning He proclaims the accomplishment of that which His Father foreknew and foretold, our redemption.
