Jesus paid the Price for me

Arrested at night, for no real crime, following all-night prayer.
Betrayed by a friend
Betrayed for money
Betrayed by someone trying to force His hand
Betrayed with a kiss
Abandoned by all his disciples
Judged by the Jewish High priest, the Sanhedrin, the elders, council, scribes, Roman politicians and the general public as not worthy to live.
Falsely accused by false witnesses whose stories didn’t even agree
Denounced, discredited, ridiculed and made fun of because He talked about Heaven
Spat on, struck, slapped around by the Jewish council
Blindfolded
Blasphemed by religious leaders “Prophecy to us! Who is it that struck you?”
Delivered by Jewish council because of spiritual envy to a foreign court to assuage its guilt
Tied up and led away to a gentile governor for judgment
Make to carry His own execution instrument
Treated with contempt, mocked and arrayed in purple by Herod the Jewish King
Sent back to Pilate a second time, who claimed to have the power of life or death
Compared to a political renegade and murderer and preferred by all to let die over the real criminal
Found guiltless by Pilate, yet sentenced anyway, due to political pressure
Arrayed in purple and mocked again
Beaten and tortured with a lash with metal bits, struck, beard pulled out
“Crowned” with a crown of thorns, blood running down his head of authority
Struck with a reed, the symbol of Kingly authority
Tempted to drink a painkiller. He refused
Crucified at “the place of a skull” The same place Adam died.
Nailed to a cross. Genesis 3:15 fulfilled
Made naked and his clothes gambled for.
His “crime” was mockingly hung above him in three languages “The King of the Jews”
Made to hang on a hill overlooking his beloved city
Mocked by priests, elders, followers, soldiers, scribes and fellow criminals.
Stabbed in the chest (perhaps heart) by a sword.
Died
Went to Hell for three days 1 Pet 3:9, 4:6
Rose again!
