No one wanted to look at him.
We despised him and said,
“He is a nobody!”
JOHN 19:5 (MSG)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus was the disrespected savior.
DAILY FODDER
What difference does it make that Jesus was treated so poorly?
PRAYER
Precious Savior, we are thankful that you put up with such abuse to save us from death and sin. We tend to turn away from the ugliness of this aspect of our salvation and focus exclusively on how happy you make us feel. Help us to see the whole process so that we, too, would stand firm when we're disrespected on your behalf. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
