New Palestine Bible Church

The Jews wanted to kill Jesus because they rightly understood that Jesus had not only acknowledged that he was the Christ is the Christ, the promise anointed king, but that as such, he was also saying he was the divine son of God, which is why they wanted to kill him. They believed that to be blasphemy. And so they used this insurrectionist angle to coerce Pilate to crucify Jesus, claiming that he was the king of the Jews, that was gonna be a problem for Rome. The reality is, and God willing, we'll consider it again next week, Jesus is the king of the Jews, and he is more than that. He's the king of the universe. Right? He's the king of kings, and he's the lord of lords. Amen?
