They Knew He Was Coming To Judge

They knew He was coming to judge a Roman, a Jew, an atheist, and a Muslim and pay for their sins by carrying the cross to Calvary on His bleeding shoulders; they didn't understand the purpose of His mission and continued to spit on Him and mock Him while women wiped off his bloody face... was Christ ever in a vengeful rage? He'll reward the meek and the pure in heart, punish the wicked who resist and don't surrender to Christ; they refused to acknowledge how might He was and He continued to take insults and blows... being silent and dragging the heavy cross! They knew He was coming to judge a Roman, a Jew, a Muslim, and an atheist or whoever was worshiping a false god. He could have avoided death by calling upon the angels, but He chose to be scourged as prophesized, to do God's will instead; and bearing atrocious pain He turned to his mother and declared Her dying son bending His head and wearing a crown made of pricky thorns never showing a grudge, and those painful thorns made Him bleed 'till he died!
