21 - The Cross as Jesus' Coronation

In this episode, we look at Jesus' crucifixion as both a mock - and a VERY REAL - coronation. While those who crucified Jesus mocked Him as a failed rebel against Rome, a false Jewish Messiah, a pretender to the throne - Jesus was, in fact being crowned King of Kings.

Notes

The Naked Bible Podcast describes the process Israelite kings would generally go through to be coronated - a pattern that the Gospels display with Jesus.

The Bema Podcast talks about Mark's Gospel presenting Jesus being coronated "like" a Caesar - putting Jesus in direct opposition to Caesar.
