They Slapped Him In The Face
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. The soldiers twisted
together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple
robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And
they slapped him in the face.
Once
more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing
him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” When Jesus came out wearing the crown of
thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”
John 19:1-5

hear back from them, and they may remember your urging.
Prayer
is the best response to spiritual opposition.
What
critic of your faith needs your prayer today?
