Why we should be thankful for MOCKERS

In this morning’s daily reading from Morning and Evening, that great devotional by the Prince of Preachers, I was greatly encouraged by Charles Spurgeon on how to think about those who constantly deride us for our faith.

“All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head.”—Psalm 22:7.

MOCKERY was a great ingredient in our Lord’s woe. Judas mocked Him in the garden; the chief priests and scribes laughed Him to scorn; Herod set Him at nought; the servants and the soldiers jeered at Him, and brutally insulted Him; Pilate and his guards ridiculed His royalty; and on the tree all sorts of horrid jests and hideous taunts were hurled at Him.
