When God Shouted

# 742- Today's Du-votional comes from: Mr 15:26 “And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.” In the other gospel accounts we know that the placard naming Jesus as the KING OF THE JEWS was written in three different languages. The Jews wanted Pilate to change the writing to “This man said He was the King of the Jews,” but Pilate said “What I have written I have written.” Again, understand that Pilate is nothing but a pawn in the hands of God, and it might as well be God saying, “I have written what I have written.” God used the finger of Pilate to proclaim the message He wants the world to hear regarding His Son. HE IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Who are the Jews but the children of Abraham? In the Book of Galatians, the Holy Spirit, speaking through Paul makes it clear that the true children of Abraham are spiritual offspring, not biological offspring. The true children of Abraham are those who have put their trust in Christ. Ga 3:29 SAYS “And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. “ When you and I believe that God sent His only Son to die on the cross for our sins, and we acknowledge Him as our Savior, we are children of Abraham and God accounts such faith as righteousness, and Jesus is our King! Something else to note. The sign was in caps. Have you ever sent someone a message via e-mail or texting in caps? Why did you do that? You did it because you wanted a special emphasis. You wanted the recipient of the message to not blow it off. Here, it is as if God was shouting it out loud in three different languages. THE KING OF THE JEWS! Don't blow it off! I pray that we would note it well and that we would live our lives as if He truly were our king.
