"And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
Luke 23:38
Pilate had ordered the sign which was a public posting of Jesus' "crime." It may have been meant as ridicule. After all, what king would reign from a cross naked, bloody, and black and blue? But the accusation was indeed the truth. Jesus was and is King. Throughout history, followers of Jesus have been called names. The early disciples were first called Christian in Antioch (Acts 11:26). It was meant as derision, but it was true. They were Christ's people. What names might I bear as a follower of Christ? Fool? Fanatic? Nut? So be it. It's true!! I confess, I am!!!
Today's Thought: Names meant as ridicule can become badges of honor.
Have an honorable day. Love you.
