In the following address, D.A. Carson sets out four ‘ironies of the cross’ as presented in Matthew 27:27-51.

The Ironies of the Cross

In summary:-

1. The man who is mocked as king, is the king.
2. The man who is utterly powerless, is powerful.
3. The man who can’t save himself, saves others.
4. The man who cries out in despair, trusts God.
