Nowhere is there a more majestic description of Jesus Christ than in the first chapter of Colossians, one of the readings for this day. And nowhere was that majesty most hidden than on Calvary’s hill. The sign said, “King of the Jews”, but no one saw Him as King. Except perhaps one. One on a flanking cross. As the religious leaders taunted, proclaiming they had ‘no king but Caesar’, the thief proclaimed his “All Hail!” And Jesus responded, “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” King. Cross. Majesty. Crucifixion. Life. Death. Sin. Grace. They all meet at the crossroads of the Kingdom.
