The sign over Jesus’ sacred head at the cross proclaimed the truth: “This
is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” To those with faith in His redeeming
blood, there could be no more glorious throne. What kind of King chooses
the cross over power and glory? The kind of King who has but one purpose
and mission: to save sinners, to restore the lost, and to renew the broken.
So Jesus’ cross displays a sign to explain who He is because no one expects
the Son of God to be crucified. Jesus is God’s faithful firstborn Son, who
is forsaken by His Father so that undeserving sinners might be adopted into
God’s family and never be forsaken!
