We have no king but Caesar!” Crucify him, Jesus. We have no king but Caesar!” Crucify means put (someone) to death by nailing or binding them to a cross, especially as an ancient punishment. To nail to a cross · hang on a cross · execute · put to death someone. The crucifixion itself symbolizes a process of crossing out or eliminating that which is no longer needful for our continued unfoldment. Jews didn’t want to kill Jesus they wanted to eliminate him and everything He taught. They had no need for Jesus! Unfortunately, today our world reflects we have no need for Jesus, but fail to realize the Kings (rulers of this world) are no better then the kings of Jesus times.

Genesis 35:11 KJV And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

Deuteronomy 28:36KJV The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

1 Timothy 6:13-16 AMP I solemnly charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and [in the presence] of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession [in His testimony] before Pontius Pilate, 14 to keep all His precepts without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which He will bring about in His own time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the absolute Ruler], the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, 16 He alone possesses immortality [absolute exemption from death] and lives in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal power and dominion! Amen.

Revelation 17:14 AMP They will wage war against the Lamb (Christ), and the Lamb will triumph and conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him and on His side are the called and chosen (elect) and faithful.”

Sin filled, they crucified the King of Kings and Lord of Lord.  Let not me crucify Jesus afresh with my sins, instead I seek His presence and plan of salvation.
