And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.”
Matthew 27:37
Is there any doubt that this sign on the cross was God’s truth? He can paint with squirrelly brushes when he wants to and knows how to redeem the happy accidents. As a wise tortoise has said, “There are no accidents.”
The rulers went whining to Pilate about the sign:
“Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather, ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’ Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”
John 19:21–22
Thus the Lord speaks ever over his word and over his world: I said what I said!
