Jesus is a different King. He doesn’t have the right background – He’s from Nazareth. He is not politically correct; doesn’t play by the rules, Jesus doesn’t fit into any of the categories that Pilate expects a King to fit into
For us today, maybe we can see like Pilate, that Jesus is a different kind of king
Jesus doesn’t fit our categories of a King. He breaks our little boxes of who He is.
But that’s the beauty of the gospel – Jesus isn’t the King we expected, but Jesus is the king we need.
Jesus is the kind of king that would leave His glory and would lay down His life for us so that we would be brought into His kingdom. Jesus is a different kind of King but is the kind of King we need.
