The charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS

Mark 15:21-28
Simon was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha(which means "the place of the skull")
They crucified hum, Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified hi. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left.
Jesus is now utterly alone, isolated from the soldiers, the jeering crowd of onlookers and the little group of women who loved him enough to endure one last watch.
The Gospel writers play down the physical horror of the hours on the cross when Jesus plumbed the depths of suffering. But why did he die? The Gospel writers and the whole New Testament see Jesus' death as the climax(高潮)of his mission, the final fulfillment of God's purpose.
Why?poor
They treated Jesus as the two rebels, but Jesus doesn't like them.
On the cross Jesus was alone and not one with him, except group of women who loved him.
Remember the love of Jesus and what he has done for us. Bear our own cross to follow Him.
How?
What is my own cross? Arrogance, narrow mind, selfish...
