DAY 4 OF 8

Instruments of Suffering

The cross was painful enough, but to crucify this "criminal," the Romans made it altogether excruciating.

Traditionally, the Romans attached criminals to their crosses with ropes; using spikes was an added instance of cruelty. Setting a crown of thorns - sharp enough and strong enough to literally dig beneath the skin - onto Jesus' head was a further act of hateful malice, completely unnecessary and without precedent.

About this Plan

Passion Week

The Winning Walk has created a unique collection of devotionals to help you remember some of the events surrounding the betrayal and crucifixion of Jesus, and to lead you to worship God for the amazing sacrifice He made on our behalf. This is not a traditional rendering of the Stations of the Cross, but a fresh perspective on an ancient practice.
