The garments went from glorifying him to being stripped from him, and humiliating him. In each movement of the crowd – whether of praise or denunciation – Jesus’ devotion to his mission remained the same. Whether in acceptance or rejection, in comfort or persecution, Jesus was consistent.

Christians, antivaxxers, states rights advocates, traditionalists, anti cancel culture stalwarts: all being marginalized and derided, coerced and silenced.

Better to die standing than to live on your knees. Christ was the model for us to persevere in the face of crushing opposition and to not abandon our beliefs. Something to hold on to in this Passion Week.
