It is vitally important to start the demonstration by reminding women that Jesus told the crowds of women who actually saw him after he was scourged NOT to weep for him! Jesus did not want their tears then and he doesn't want their tears or pity now! Remind them that Jesus asked his followers to remember his body broken for them! His blood poured out for them! He did the hard part all he asked us to do was understand what he did!!! There are great benefits available to those who understand the death of Christ. God has demonstrated to all of us how much Jesus and His Father God SO loved the world. If you really want to catch glimpses of the length, and the breadth, and the height, and the depth of the love of Christ we MUST really look at the high price "The King of Kings" was willing to pay for us. Why is that you rarely hear Christians bragging about Jesus great strength, great courage, iron will, and incredible self-control and GREAT love revealed throughout His arrest, trial, torture and death? Is not enduring the worlds MOST EXCRUCIATING TORTURE AND DEATH when he could have stopped it -- worthy of honor and praise? (Matt 26:53, John 18:6, John 10:18)

The person to be scourged was stripped of his clothing and tied to a post.The roman soldiers repeadedly strike the victims legs,back, and buttocks with full force. Lacerations cut into the underlying muscles and rip the overlaying skin off the back.The capillaries and veins were often torn causing intense bleeding,and at times causing the intrails to be exposed.

If the victim had a pulse and they collapsed,the beating continued. Until the centurion in charge determined he prisoner was near death. The Jewish Law was 39 lashes,in case there was an error in counting. The Romans had no number of blows which could be administered.
There were usually 1-6 soldiers called lictors,who administered the blows.

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:10

The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

Colossians 2:20-21
you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: 21"Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"?
20Since

Galatians 5:19-21

acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

19The

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
