Matthew 27:30-31

They spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him repeatedly on the head.  After they finished ridiculing Him, they stripped Him of the scarlet robe and put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.  

Jesus suffered the punishment for sin, and He set us free, but He was mocked and criticized by the people He was trying to save.  The world should hold no draw for the believer because we should see how it comes short of God’s best.  They mock us just as they have mocked Jesus, but our lights will still shine.
