Using the title King of the Jews, was a title which causes conflict and puts people in a place where their identification with Jesus brings mockery, disparagement and even persecution.

Mother Of The Year - A Canaanite Woman

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 17, 2018

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 4, 2019
