day eighteen moment

"thorns it seems always accompany visits to glory.
no one who has walked in Christ's presence
will ever be allowed to strut".
Jamie Buckingham

"............ so his appearance was marred more than any man
and his form more than the sons of man"
Is 52:14

mocked
taunted
jeered

pale
anguished
abused
scorned

Barabbas moves toward freedom

Jesus moves toward Golgotha

crowned with thorns
draped in a captain's robe

alone

blood dripping into his eyes
and running down his battered face

slap
spit
thorns pounded deeper into flesh

silent

who is this man Jesus
