Behold your King
John 19:15

Behold the man of sorrows, acquainted with grief: scourged, slapped, whipped, He received the obloquy and hate and repressed evil of His tormentors and offered to the Father the souls of the torturers, in love. Behold the man under judgement , presenting to His judge the challenge of truth and integrity, loving him towards right choice for his soul's sake, patiently accepting the "justice" afforded Him . " And He bare the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors." Behold your King! From High Priest to Pilate, to people, the Father's beloved Son , King of the world which He came to save, is under judgement. But in the world's history it is the accusers and vilifiers who emerge as the subjects for judgement . And the verdict of hindsight is "guilty". "And He bare the sin of many , and made intercession for the transgressors" Behold the man, children of the Father in every age. See Him confronting sin and hurt in your own hearts and minds , transforming all that is suffered and endured into positive, life-giving hope in love as He is accepted and entertained.

Behold your King, children of the Father. Name Him, crown Him in your hearts and minds and let Him joyfully lead you with all who accept His kingship in whatever form they acknowledge it, to the Father's Presence.
