movie was criticized because people felt the
scourging scene was too violent, but the truth is, it
didn’t even come close. The Bible tells us “His
visage was marred more than any man, and His form
more than the sons of men” (Isa. 52:14). He was so
badly mutilated He did not even look like a man
anymore, and I believe the people who were present
had to look away and hide their faces because they
could not bear to look at His grotesque, quivering
form (Isa. 53:3).
But His ordeal did not stop there. A whole
garrison of soldiers then gathered around Him and
put a scarlet robe on His battered body. They twisted
a crown of thorns and rammed it on His head. They
put a staff in His right hand, bowed before Him, and
mocked Him. They spat on Him and took the staff
and struck Him on the head again and again, driving
the thorns deeper and deeper into His flesh with each
blow. They were bent on completely humiliating
Him. When “they were finally tired of mocking
Him,” they stripped Him of the robe and put His
own clothes on Him again. Then they led Him away
to be crucified (Matt. 27:27–31 NLT).
We can never fully imagine or understand the
horrifying torture, degrading humiliation, and
excruciating pain our Savior endured for our sakes.
