The old hymn says, "Guilty, vile, helpless we; spotless lamb of God was He." What piercing contrasts we see in the lives of those surrounding the King through his mock trials. As we consider the religious leaders, Judas, and Pilate, let us consider ourselves and sing, "Bearing shame and scoffing rude, in my place condemned he stood, sealed my pardon with his blood. Hallelujah, What a Savior!"
