John 19. Day 224 - The New Testament in a Year

Jesus’ Suffering.  The Crucifixion. Jesus’ Final Words. 

"When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit."  John 19:30

In this episode of "The New Testament in a Year," we journey through John 19, one of the most significant moments in Scripture, where Jesus willingly endures unimaginable suffering for our sake. We witness Pilate’s struggle, the mockery of the soldiers, and the heartbreaking details of Jesus’ journey to Golgotha. This chapter paints a vivid picture of Jesus’ unwavering obedience to God’s will, even to the point of death. We’re reminded of the heavy price paid for our redemption—a cost borne by Jesus Himself.

As we look deeper into this chapter, we’re encouraged by three key takeaways: understanding the cost of our salvation, finding strength in enduring trials, and fulfilling our purpose with obedience. Together, these truths guide us to appreciate Jesus’ sacrifice and inspire us to live faithfully. Let’s open our hearts to understand God’s love and commitment to us, as revealed in the most significant moment of Jesus’ earthly life.
