JESUS THE KING

“Who is Jesus?”  This question has captivated us for 2,000 years. People, even skeptics, are fascinated by this Person. Who is he?  And many have chimed in: “zealot”, “magician”, “prophet”, “gentle, benign hippie shepherd”.  Forget everything you’ve heard before. Jesus doesn’t want to be defined by others. He seems to consider Himself the one in charge of defining.  So, what does it mean for him to show you who he is, in the Bible? 

Mark tells us that when he’s crucified, there was a placard nailed above his head. This inscription told the world why this man was on a cross. It could’ve said anything.  But it said, in three different languages, “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.”

He’s another king. But as you read further in the story, I think you’ll begin to see he isn’t the kind of king we expect.
