  • John 19 - The Crucifixion and Burial of Jesus

    John 19 covers the crucifixion, death, and burial of Jesus.  Brian and Kristin help to bring this scene to life as they discuss the impact that Jesus had on the people of his day, the religious leaders, and the world in general.  The suffering of Jesus was immense and the weight of the sins of the world should never be taken lightly by believers.  Jesus took the weight of our sins upon himself and lovingly allowed himself to experience one of the most grueling forms of torture and death.  But...Sunday's on the way!
