Good Friday: Crown of thorns | Louis Kotzé
About this episode
Pastor Louis reflects on the significance of Good Friday and the suffering of Jesus as He endures mockery and injustice.
Good Friday is a reminder of the moment Jesus stood before the world – mocked, rejected, and crowned with thorns. The soldiers twist together this crown and press it onto Jesus’ head in cruel mockery of His claim to kingship. Yet this moment reveals something deeper. The same thorns that entered the story in Genesis as part of a broken world are now borne by Jesus Himself. In silence, He endures injustice, violence, and humiliation, though even Pilate could find no fault in Him. The King of truth stands in the face of a world that twists, distorts, and resists God. Reflect with Pastor Louis on the depth of Christ’s suffering, the reality of injustice, and the powerful truth of who Jesus really is. Join us as we remember the One who entered our pain, carried the curse, and chose the cross – for us.
