[MamaMary]

If the Lord has given you something especially encouraging in your quiet time would you share it here? (Big Warm Smile)

[MamaMary]

“But YOU, O Lord, are a shield around me. YOU are my glory, the one who holds my head high.” Psalm 3:3

[MamaMary]

Then Pilate had jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip. The soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him. Hail! King of Jews they mocked, as they slapped him across the face.

The leading priests and the Temple guards began shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

"By our law he ought to die because he called himself the Son of God."

Pilate demanded, "Don't you realize that I have the power to release you or crucify you?" Then Jesus said, "You would have NO power over me at all unless it were given to you from above."

So they took Jesus away. Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull. There they NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS.

"It is finished"! Then he bowed his head and released his spirit."
