Hail King Jesus: Why the Cross Shows Jesus Is King | John 19:17-27

This sermon looks at Jesus' crucifixion in John 19 and asks why John keeps pointing to the sign above the cross that calls him the King of the Jews. It walks through Jesus carrying his cross, the soldiers dividing his clothes as Psalm 22 foretold, and his care for his mother even in agony. Four truths about King Jesus stand out: the king was prophesied, he leads from the front, he rules an upside-down kingdom where he defeated death by paying the full debt of sin, and he will not be denied when every knee bows. The listener is invited to remember, when faith is weak or times are hard, what the cross really means: Hail King Jesus.
