And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. But first they took him into the armory and called out the entire contingent. And they spat on him and grabbed the stick and beat him on the head with it. After the mockery, they took off the robe and put his own garment on him again, and took him out to crucify him. Nevertheless his love for us brought him through all the mockery, hatred and evil men did to him.
Ignorance is the main reason people make a mockery of the gospel of Jesus.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds. Satan is the god of this world system. By the world we refer to the deception,wickedness and evil that is dominating the hearts and minds of human beings. As Christians we need to appreciate the fact that the gospel is being resisted by the devil. People's minds have been blinded by his deception.
