Why was Jesus sent by the Father?
This is a question we’ve been trying to answer all along in our study through the Gospel of John. If googled, you’d find lots of differing answers, but in the Gospel of John, one clear answer comes to the surface: Jesus was sent by the Father to stand condemned as the true and better, substitutionary, Passover-fulfilling Lamb of God.
In this sermon, we take a look at John 19:16b-27 and see the obedience of Jesus to the Father’s will in the crucifixion. As we do, we will see how John quickly diverts our attention from the man on the cross to two items: a sign and a tunic. In these, we see the Father’s sovereign plans unfolding, reminding us that none of what takes place here is apart form the Father’s will. 
We then see how Jesus, as He makes provision for our eternal security, also secures earthly provision for his mom. As such, we see the tender care of God, who saves our eternal souls and also who cares about our daily provisions and relationships.
This leads us to examine our personal and corporate identity as the people of God and consider how we are to live our lives in light of these glorious truths.
