<p><strong>What happens when the King of Kings gets publicly humiliated — and says nothing?</strong></p><p>In Matthew 27:27-30, Jesus is stripped, mocked, crowned with thorns, and beaten by Roman soldiers. It&#39;s brutal. It&#39;s degrading. And it&#39;s the scene most of us want to skip over.</p><p>But this is where we see something we desperately need — the most powerful Being in the universe choosing silence over revenge. He could have destroyed every soldier in that room. He didn&#39;t. Not because He was weak. Because He trusted the Father&#39;s plan more than His own flesh wanted to fight back.</p><p>In this episode, Alex and Lokelani walk through what Jesus&#39; response in that moment teaches us about suffering, pride, and what it actually looks like to have real hope — not the kind the world sells you, but the kind that quiets your soul even when everything around you is falling apart.</p><p>We also dig into Psalm 131 and 1 Peter 2:18-24 to unpack why staying in your lane isn&#39;t giving up — it&#39;s trusting God with the parts of life you can&#39;t control.</p><p>If you&#39;ve ever been mocked for your faith, overlooked for doing the right thing, or just felt like the good you&#39;re doing isn&#39;t being seen — this one is for you.</p><p>📖 Scripture: Matthew 27:27-30 | Psalm 131 | 1 Peter 2:18-24</p><p>🙏 Support Amen Podcast (ad-free, sponsor-free): 🌐 amenpodcast.com 💸 Venmo: @amenpodcast 💵 Cash App: $amenalex</p><p>📺 Subscribe &amp; hit the bell 💬 Drop your answer in the comments: <strong>What are you suffering right now?</strong></p><p><br></p>
