Jesus Raises Eyebrows: Biblical Over Traditional Series

Behold The King: The Cross Before The Crown

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 26, 2018

God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.
