LUKE 23:16

 "Therefore, I will punish Him and then release Him." - Luke 23:16

He found no basis for charges against Him, but he is still gonna punish Him just for fun?  

At any point, did You think that You weren't going to have to go through with this?  I mean there had to be a part of You that was like, "Yes!  This is not happening!"  When they couldn't find anything wrong with You, or when Herod sent You back without any punishment, or when Pilate just said, "and then release Him." - were You relieved or at least thought, "maybe this is not the time"?

Or....did You know all along how this would finish?  Did You know beforehand that this was part of the process?  Did You know that none of it would make sense from a human stand point, but that You would end up crucified anyway?

That's another great question.  Is there some satisfaction that Your church kept going and thriving after this?  What they meant to do backfired.
