“The King Mocked” Mount Olive Lutheran Church Sermon Wednesday February 21st 2024 - Matthew 27:27–31
Lenten Exchange guest preacher Rev. Jim Chimirri-Russell from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Regina, Saskatchewan.
Matthew 27:27–31
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before Him. And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head and put a reed in His right hand. And kneeling before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they spit on Him and took the reed and struck Him on the head. And when they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of the robe and put His own clothes on Him and led Him away to crucify Him.
Here guest preacher Pr. Chimirri-Russell references the Alexamenos graffito in his sermon dealing with the nature and meaning of the mockery of Jesus in His crucifixion and what that means for you in your life.
