The double entendre of this text: sinners abuse God-given authority, and abuse God's Son's authority.
Exegesis: What the King suffered for His people: condemnation at the hands of religious perverts (vv. 28-32), injustice at the hands of political cowards (vv. 33-36), scorn at the hands of philosophical skeptics (vv. 37-38), and death in the place of godless sinners (vv. 39-40).
Further application: The believing response to all of this: humble, faithful gratitude for Christ's sacrifice and submission to God's authority(-ies).
