Have you ever wondered what could make a king willingly endure mockery, torture, and death?
In this powerful exploration of Christ's crucifixion, Pastor Jim draws striking parallels
between England's Charles I and Jesus, revealing a tale of two kings with vastly different purposes.
While Charles I faced humiliation and execution for his earthly failures, Jesus, the true King,
chose His path of suffering out of divine love.

Through vivid detail from Matthew 27, Pastor Jim presents a raw and unvarnished picture
of Christ's final hours. Jesus is stripped before hundreds of soldiers, crowned with thorns,
beaten, and crucified naked, far removed from the sanitized images we often imagine.
This portrayal forces us to reckon with the full weight of Christ's humiliation and sacrifice.

This message challenges us to see how Jesus met humanity's worst, hatred, mockery, and violence,
not with vengeance but with grace. The King who had every right to call down judgment instead
bore suffering in obedience to the Father's will.

Pastor Jim reminds us that Christ's sacrifice calls for more than distant admiration.
It demands transformation. Whether facing bruised pride, personal loss, or misunderstanding
because of our faith, we are called to reflect Christ's mercy in our homes and communities.

We are left with this enduring truth: the King who could have come down from the cross chose to stay,
not held by nails, but by love for us all.
