Immitating the Crucifixion; Mockery or Memorable?

 

The mocking of Jesus Christ occurred several times, after his trial and before his crucifixion. According to the canonical gospels of the New Testament, the mocking is considered as part of Jesus' passion.😥

According to the gospel narratives, Jesus Christ had predicted that he would be mocked at (Matthew 20:19, Mark 10:34, and Luke 18:32). The mocking of Christ took place in three stages: immediately following his trial, immediately following his condemnation by Pontius Pilate, and when he was being crucified.

Based on the crucifixion, Jesus was mocked while he was on the cross. According to Mark 15:29-30, this was done by those who passed by and rained insults at him and told him to come down from the cross. Mark 15:31-32 points out that "the chief priests and the teachers of the law" also mocked him among themselves, saying: "He saved others, but he can’t save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Finally, those crucified with Jesus also heaped insults at him (Mark 15:32).

Luke 23:36-37 mentions mocking by Roman soldiers: "The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, 'If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!'" (New Revised Standard Version). In Matthew 27:42 people, priest and the elders mock Jesus, and shout at him while he is hanging on the cross: "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God."

Those Christians especially, the Roman Catholics immitating and copying the crucifixion of Jesus every year by one devoting himself as Jesus Christ and carrying the cross while receiving lashes from the mass should put stop to that because the immitation makes him remember the pains and trauma that he went through. Just imagine in school, where you were once punished in front of the whole students and every year, some students try to imitate how you reacted when receiving the punishment. When you hear this, how will you feel?... Onipa tirim as3m, Allahu nkoaa na Onim
