Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
I find comfort in the cross. When reading this passage it becomes even more clear to me that God is in control of the situation. As Jesus is interviewed by Pilate, as he is berated by the crowd, as he is mocked by the soldiers God is in control. All of this is supposed to happen. Yes, it is horrifying. Yes, it is ugly. But it is all according to God's plan for our salvation. No matter how ugly it is, God is control. The comfort comes from the fact that that is still true. As God is in control of Jesus' crucifixion, he is in control now of all the bad things that happen to us. God has a plan, and we can know that his plan will work out for good, just as it did with Christ's death. God is in control, and because God is in control we can know that it will all work for good in the end. God bless you.
