John 19:17-19

Jesus is forced to carry His own cross and is taken to the place of the Skull called Golgotha. He is crucified between two others, one on either side. Even in this place of misery and death God still acknowledges Him as King. Pilate puts above him a sign that reads, “King of the Jews”. There is an old hymn that says, “O that my God would die for me!” Jesus came and died for you even though He was a king. By His death and resurrection He set us free. We are now able to know and live for God through Christ’s work for us.
