Let the Nations be Glad!

A lesson on Christ as King and Savior for all peoples, from all nations. Continuing in John's account of Christ's crucifixion, we pause to make note of the inscription Pilate had written and mounted above Jesus' head. What Pilate didn't realize was that his words served a sort of prophetic purpose. While Jesus was a Jew, and came though the ethnic lineage of the Jewish people, He is Savior and Redeemer for not just the Jews only, but all people of the world. Not in the sense that every soul will be saved, since salvation comes solely on the basis of faith in Christ. But rather, the good news is that Christ's deliverance from the bondage of sin, death, and judgement is available to all people everywhere who repent and trust in Him.
