Behold Your King!

When Christ entered Jerusalem for His last Passover, He was met with throngs of people declaring Him King. During the Passion week, Christ's words and actions left everyone disillusioned and some joining the religious leaders in calling for Christ's crucifixion just 5 days later. Much to the chagrin of the crowd clamoring for Christ's execution, Pilate presented a bruised and bloody Jesus to the crowd and said, "Behold your King!" He even had an inscription declaring Christ's Kingship posted over the cross. God's truth prevailed despite the evil intentions of both the Jews and the Romans (cf. Ps 2).
