The writer reveals profound theological themes in the trial, condemnation, suffering, and crucifixion of the King of kings. One may observe God's sovereign hand in the events' details. The Lord foretold His death to His disciples, and the Messianic prophecies were also fulfilled (Isaiah 53). The author points out that no Messiah exists except the Lord Jesus. Aside from the sovereignty of God, we also see the Lord Jesus's faithfulness to fulfill the redemption mission. He endured pain and shame for the sake of all who would believe. One could not ignore the contrast of the failure of humanity seen in Peter and many others. Moreover, one sees the injustice of both Jews and Gentiles in His suffering and death.
