From Adam's Dominion to David's Throne to Christ Before Pilate

Trace kingship as a single thread from Genesis to the Cross: Adam's original vocation to rule creation under God, the strange tension of Israel demanding a king from God himself, David's everlasting throne, and Christ's own redefinition of kingship — refusing a crown by force, riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, and standing before Pilate to say plainly, "my kingship is not of this world." We close by asking why the Church's visible, governed unity is the direct continuation of that same thread.
