As we continue our week exploring various aspects of Jesus’ kingship, today we’ll celebrate his triumphant nature. What does it mean for God to be triumphant? Like most things with Jesus, the deeper we look, the more we’ll find he is contradictory to the ways of this world. His victory is no different. Jesus’ victory confounded the Jews on his time, and still confounds many to this day. May the nature of Jesus’ triumph astound your heart and provoke worship and awe in you today. Our Scripture for today comes from  John 12:15, and today's worship is Victor's Crown by Darlene Zschech. Thank you for listening to today’s devotional.  Has this podcast been a blessing to you?
