Josh McDowell
The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict • #19 King
Set as King on Zion; Jer 23:5 and Zech 9:9 cited as parallels; cross placard 'King of the Jews'
King on Holy Hill
God declared in Psalm 2 that He installed His king on Zion.
Old Testament
Psalm 2:6
I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.
New Testament
Matthew 27:37
Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Why This Matters
God declared in Psalm 2 that He installed His king on Zion. At Calvary, the sign above Jesus read "King of the Jews" — what Pilate meant as mockery, God meant as coronation. The cross was His throne.
Reflection
Son of God, form my heart around Your truth. Through King on Holy Hill, help me live as one who belongs to You.
