Luk 23:31 | MHM | STEP | v. 31 : Jesus said, “If they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?” (Luke 23:31 ). He meant that if He, the innocent and righteous one, suffered so much, then the guilty would suffer even more. If God allowed such things to happen to His own Son, what would happen to those who rejected Him? This is a warning to all people to take God’s justice seriously and to turn to Him for mercy.

He meant that if He, the innocent and righteous one, suffered so much, then the guilty would suffer even more.
