While Jesus the Christ represents many different things to many different people, from mythology to the ultimate reality, what nearly everyone agrees upon is that Jesus was a very good person, for he was renowned for healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and His profound incisive wisdom. Jesus was hardly a rebel, or even a real threat to any of the principle players in Rome, yet, the one thing about Jesus, is that He was never a man to cede ground for the convenience of religious or secular authority. So too, Jesus paid little attention to the religious or political winds of the day, but went about His business, wherever it might take Him.
However, for both religious and secular authorities, there are often no greater perceived threats than a man that is not subject to being bought or being compromised and Jesus; above all else, was a man of uncommon integrity. This meant, that the most powerful Jewish leaders, such as the Pharisees, where quite concerned about Jesus and His representation to their people, which because the Pharisees were not only of a sect that had specific religious traits and dogma, they had also made a pact with the Romans that basically allowed the Pharisees to rule their own, without much Roman meddling, and to them, this Jesus distinctly made them quite uneasy, so that they desired strongly to have him silenced, if Jesus would not cooperate with them, in which He did not. The Romans, on the other hand, cared little for the religious formality of Jews in general, just as long as the Jewish leaders kept their people in order, but a threat to that order, or the proclamation that someone such as Jesus claiming to be a King was not something that would be tolerated by the Romans. While the "trial" of Jesus was a sham, as well as his conviction, so too, the punishment of crucifixion for Jesus was completely baseless, but Rome was pragmatic, and believed that it was better to kill those that might instigate riots and rebellion than allow such to gain traction and power.
This then meant that Jesus was indeed, beaten, mocked and severely scourged by Roman authorities, before being made to march to his own death by crucifixion, all done within a very short period of time, so as to effectively eliminate any insipient rebellion of an alternate king or rival to Roman power. The fact that Jesus was crucified, when He was actually innocent of the charges against Him, and had not only preached the good word, but had helped and healed many, was a gross travesty of justice.
Today, we live in more civilized times, or it is said that we do, and many declaim the bad things that are done to them, great or small, unjust, or unfair, or just plain wrong, but even those protesting this most vociferously and with good reason, are often, in one way or another, flawed somewhat or significantly in their character, and my goodness, remember that they beat and crucified Christ, so having done that to Him, what justification do we have to expect any better for us?
This is not to say, that injustice should be our lot in life, as it really should not be, but rather to remind ourselves, that we live in a fallen world, signified by the fact that even those that have come to save us from ourselves, are physically killed, though unbeknownst to many, they do Rise.
