Mock or Marvel? | René González | Matthew

In Matthew 27:27–54, the story of Jesus’ crucifixion plays out like a drama of mockery and misunderstanding. Soldiers strip Him. Onlookers jeer. Religious leaders scoff. Even the criminals beside Him join in. And yet—Jesus stays. Not because He’s weak, but because He’s willing.

In this bilingual Good Friday sermon, Pastor René González explores the haunting contrast between those who mocked Jesus and the Roman centurion who marveled at Him. One Savior. One cross. Two radically different responses. The question isn’t just what they did with Jesus—it’s what we will do with Him today.

Will we mock—or marvel?

This message invites us to examine whether our worship reflects true devotion or a hollow habit. The cross is not a spectacle to watch but a sacrifice to respond to. Let’s not treat Jesus as optional. Let’s recognize Him as everything.
