Jesus ChrisT Is Royalty
Mark 15:16 "And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!"
The soldiers mocked Jesus for speaking the truth. Little did they know the irony in their actions. Christ is King.

Our bodies are The Lord's temples:
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
We are billboards for Christ, a lighthouse:
"...let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16
We are not afraid of persecution:
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12
By His Blood we are redeemed
Ephesians 1:7 "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace..."
