C.H. Spurgeon reflects on the tragic irony of how the people of Israel treated their long-awaited King, Jesus, during His final hours. Instead of honoring Him, they subjected Him to a mock procession, offered Him a bitter drink, and gambled over His garments, showcasing their disdain. The cross, a symbol of shame, became His throne, revealing the world's rejection of divine authority. Despite this humiliation, Spurgeon assures that Jesus' glory will ultimately be recognized and celebrated by saints and angels for eternity.
