Their king was supposed to be
Grand and glorious, not this
Mangled one, crowned and
Robed in anguish, the one they
Had flogged until He no longer
Looked human.
Unrecognizable.
But on that day when they must
Acknowledge Him, they will bow and
Remember, and cry tears of pain and
Shame and wish beyond wishing that they
Had recognized Him long before when
He was their King in disguise.
"...and everyone will see Him-even those who
pierced Him. And all the nations of the earth
will weep because of Him..." Revelation 1:7
"...at the name of Jesus every knee will bow..." Philippians 2:10
