The way of Jesus led to humiliation and shame. Each hour was loaded with its separate pain, to fill up the chalice his Father had given him to drink. He had been led to the hall of Pilate to be judged. Pilate knew full well he had no right to condemn the innocent, nor to punish the one who had done no wrong. Jesus submits to this injustice, He gave an example in this as in all else.
The Holy one bids us learn of him, to be humble of heart to take up our Cross and follow him.
