Pilate Wrote A Title

Christ was delivered to be crucified according to the gracious will and purpose of God the Father. Pilate wrote the reason for his crucifixion and put it on the cross. Christ was crucified because he is The King of the Jews. The Jews who rejected Christ wanted Pilate to change it. But the man who bent to every desire of the Jews up until that point refused their request now. God determined that all men should know exactly why his Son was crucified. He is The King of the Jews! There are many comforting truths that are declared to Sinners in the title and superscription written above the head of Christ. It was put there by the determinate will of God for a crown of glory upon the head of our King.
