John 19: the King is risen on the cross

In John 17:1 we read:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. ... 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."

In John 19, we read:

13-14 When Pilate heard those words, he led Jesus outside. He sat down at the judgment seat in the area designated Stone Court (in Hebrew, Gabbatha). It was the preparation day for Passover. The hour was noon. Pilate said to the Jews, “Here is your king.”
15 They shouted back, “Kill him! Kill him! Crucify him!”
Pilate said, “I am to crucify your king?”
The high priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”
16-19 Pilate caved in to their demand. He turned him over to be crucified.

Some hours after this prayer Jesus is risen on the cross with a crown of thorns. In a man made story, the mankind is much better because a good protagonist would never be killed and glorified in such way. However, the reality is that mankind is bad. In a way, we are prone to reject the King because we can't glorify no one, except ourselves. We are prone to believe that we are gods: we say what is right and wrong, we judge and we condemn. Thus, we reject the Lord and his Son because the Lord turned to be our enemies. What tragedy! 
May the Lord touch our evil hearts and may we be prone to honor the King, obeying his will.
May we surrender to Jesus because he is the King indeed.
