Old Testament

David crosses the Kidron in sorrow while betrayal, counsel, and political maneuvering surround him.

New Testament

Peter denies Jesus. Pilate presents Him to the crowd, and Jesus is condemned and crucified under the title 'King of the Jews.'

Psalm

The psalmist loves God's word and hates double-mindedness.

Proverb

Kings are accountable to justice, and honest scales belong to the LORD.

Discover

David is a rejected king crossing the Kidron; Jesus is the rejected King who crosses through suffering to the cross. The title meant as accusation speaks truth: He is King.

Reflect

What does the cross reveal about the kind of King Jesus is?

Fellowship

Read the crucifixion account aloud and sit quietly for one minute.

Prayer

Jesus, my King, thank You for not turning away from the cross. Keep my heart undivided. Amen.

Live

Let gratitude shape your words today.
