The sign on the Cross, which Pilate, the Roman governor of Roman occupied Israel, had made to be placed on the Cross of Jesus Christ, believe Jesus' words. For we read in the gospel of John chapter 19 verses 19 through 21: Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews." Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
When JESUS died for our sins, the tomb and cross are no longer important because Christ arose from death on the cross and walked out of the tomb.
