The Treason of Discipleship

John 19:19-22

They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!”

John 12:13

Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

1. God is trying to communicate with you.

1. God is trying to communicate with you.2. If the religious can’t proclaim Him, a pagan will.

1. God is trying to communicate with you.2. If the religious can’t proclaim Him, a pagan will.3. This King of the Jews is a global king, the King of Kings.

The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be the king of the Jews.”

John 19:21

1. God is trying to communicate with you.2. If the religious can’t proclaim Him, a pagan will.3. This King of the Jews is a global king, the King of Kings.4. The placard on the cross wasn’t a compromised

message and ours shouldn’t be either.

“What I have written, I have written.”John 19:22

1. God is trying to communicate with you.2. If the religious can’t proclaim Him, a pagan will.3. This King of the Jews is a global king, the King of Kings.4. The placard on the cross wasn’t a compromised message and

ours shouldn’t be either.5. There is for each of us the need to make a conscious decision

to either associate or disassociate ourselves from Jesus as Lord and King.

The kings heart is in the hand of the Lord; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.

Proverbs 21:1
