“Lamb of God…Thyself to scorn didst offer” (LSB 434). God should not have to endure scorn. In fact, He should punish rebellious mankind who scorns His will with constant attempts to “be like God.” yet the precious Lamb of God offered Himself on the scornful cross so that sinners would not have to face the eternal scorn of hell. As we approach Good Friday, we turn our eyes to the cross, where we see the “worm” of Psalm 22”6-8 hung for our sins.
