And the Superscription of His Accusation Was Written Over -- THE KING OF THE JEWS - Part 1702

With so many confirmed indicators continually pointing us to Jesus the Christ for our salvation, what excuse will we have for worshiping another?  Moreover, what possible reasoning could we employ for ignoring the very superscription of His accusation on the cross which clearly stated for one and all -- that JESUS was then and is still now THE KING OF THE JEWS! It is this revelation -- that this SAME JESUS whom ye have crucified is still BOTH LORD AND CHRIST that should prick our hearts, so that we willingly repent, and are water baptized (the answer of a good conscience) in the precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:36-38)

But there are those who deny the obvious -- even with scriptures which literally tell them that in the fullness of times, "God was manifest in the flesh." (I Timothy 3:16) These will teach any other gospel instead, so that people will not understand that the Lord did not send another, but He came Himself to redeem this world. He prepared for Himself a body, clothing Himself as a Son, and hiding His glory from those without eyes to see, and ears to hear.

Yes, indeed, the Lord God Almighty poured out His love on humanity by coming forth as a mighty man -- and He did so because of His abundance of love and mercy for His beloved creation. (Isaiah 42:13) This is why revisionist versions of the scriptures are determined to remove the word "begotten" from John 3:16, replacing the original translated text with "one and only Son" -- because these do not want you and I to understand the mystery that was held in the bosom of the Father from the beginning of the world.

That is, the Son of man is the Lord of glory. The first Adam being earthly and the second Adam -- JESUS -- being from heaven itself. It is no wonder that the veil was ripped from top to bottom -- heaven to earth -- when Jesus shed His precious blood on the cross for our sins.

However, instead of searching the scriptures for clarity and understanding of the apostles' doctrine, these traditionalists which believe religious culture supersedes the Word of our Lord have decided in their hearts that God c/would never love us enough to personally robe Himself in flesh to bring us His precious gift of salvation.

Still, regardless of the traditions of men, the Word of God is clear, and God is not the Author of confusion. We are sanctified by truth -- Thy Word is truth. 

So when we study His Word with open hearts, we begin to understand that God's gift of salvation could be no other way than the fullness of the Godhead dwelling bodily in Christ. (Colossians 2:9) 

Pilate recognized that JESUS was  no ordinary man. Even when the Jews/chief priests did not willingly acknowledge JESUS as the promised Christ in their hearts, Pilate asked the crowds who wished to condemn JESUS to death -- "What will ye then that I shall do unto Him whom ye call the King of the Jews?" As we know from the scriptures, the people wanted Jesus to be crucified, even after Pilate asked, "Why, what evil hath He done?" 

Interestingly, as we read on in Mark 15, the soldiers who led JESUS away into the hall, called Praetorium; therein, calling together the whole band, and clothing JESUS with purple, and a platted crown of thorns, began to salute Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" Indeed, they smote Him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon Him and bowing their knees pretended to worship Him. Of course, these did so mockingly and not from a heart's desire to worship the Saviour. (Mark 15:1-20)

And, as we also understand, there were others too, as we see from those that passed by JESUS on the cross, railing Him and saying, "Ah, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest [it] in three days, save Thyself, and come down from the cross." (Mark 15:29-30) Even the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." And they that were crucified with Him reviled Him. (Mark 15:31-41) 

A particular scripture comes to mind, which poses the very same question. That is, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will?" (Hebrews 2:3-4)

Don't be swayed by a religious culture that has not had the scales removed from their eyes, whose pillar is built on the sand. Instead, get to know the Rock which was and is and has always been Christ. His Name is JESUS, for He shall save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:18-21)
