#56 - Crucifixion as a Coronation (pt. 2 of 2) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

This video is the second in a two-part series looking at the Crucifixion (Mark 15:16-39) through the lens of a first-century Roman Triumph.

The picture that Mark is painting - if we have eyes to see - is that Jesus is the king and true Son of God.The crucifixion is the coronation of a king!

We can contrast the Roman Via Sacra - the Sacred Way - with the Via Dolorosa - the Way of Suffering.Jesus shows us the path to becoming king is through humility and submitting oneself to the will of God.
