Beaten Mocked and Scorned
from Ambassador Presbyterian Hosted by Warren Harvey
Scripture: Matthew 27:27-44 Date: August 2, 2026 In this sermon, the pastor reflects on Matthew 27:27–44 and the humiliation of Jesus before the crucifixion. The discussion focuses on the mockery, shame, and suffering Jesus endured from soldiers, crowds, religious leaders, and the criminals beside him, as well as the fulfillment of Scripture in passages such as Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22.The sermon also explains the theological distinction between Jesus’ state of humiliation and his state of exaltation, which includes his resurrection, ascension, and reign at God’s right hand. It concludes by applying the passage to human shame and guilt, distinguishing shame for sin from shame caused by rejection, and calling listeners to trust God and find forgiveness and acceptance in Christ.
