Jesus' Side Is Pierced John 19:31-37 ''But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.'' “not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth” This may be a reference to his baptism, not just by water, but by blood also. He lived a perfect life. He died as the perfect Lamb of God.
The Death of Jesus Jesus laid down his life for the lost and dying world This is the love of God, Romans 5:88 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
The Crucifixion John 19:16-27 If there was one person that knew that Jesus was the Son of God, it was Mary, his mother. He was born of a virgin. What a wonderful blessing to birth the Son of God, but now she must see him, die, the nails in his hands, the mocking, the spitting in his face, the crown of thorns upon his head, the blood that ran down through his body. This pierced her soul just as the Bible said.
Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified John 19:1-15 For God, so love the world that he gave his only begotten son. Yes, this was the will of the Father that his son would die for the sins of the whole world. O sinner, can you see the suffering of Christ? Christ did not die in defeat, but in victory. Death could not hold him in the grave. Praise the Lord for his wonderful gift of salvation. Thank you, Jesus.
My Kingdom Is Not of This World John 18:33-40 Barabbas was set free. Jesus Christ was sent to the cross: the righteous died for the unrighteous, the sinless died for the sinner. Just as Barabbas was guilty of sin, so we stood before the Lord guilty. But through the cross, we were set free. Can we sing “Hallelujah”? Praise the Lord to our great King Jesus Christ.
Jesus Before Pilate John 18:28-32 “and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.” These were religiously ignorant people. Before them was Jesus, the Passover lamb. If they would have put their trust in him, then surely Jesus would have wash away their defiled hands.
Peter Denies Jesus Again John 18:25-27 Peter’s turning point, though it was very bitter, he denied the Lord. It broke his heart. He repented of his sin. Oh, what a change that a day can make! When God gets hold of your reins, we are like wild horses. Untamed cannot be used, but when the master touches our lost soul and begins to train us up in his ways. We become profitable to him.
The High Priest Questions Jesus John 18:19-24 It seems the high priest was ignorant of the doctrines of Jesus that had been teaching in the temple for approximately 31/2 years. Surely the sermon on the mount must’ve been circling around, but Jesus rebuked him and said, “You do know what I’ve been teaching. What the problem is, you don’t believe my doctrine. That’s why you want to crucify me.
Peter Denies Jesus John 18:15-18 Peter was so quick to say that he would never deny the Lord, but he thought he could do this in the spirit of determination. But the Lord Jesus said to Peter, “You will deny me.” It must’ve been one of the grievous sins in the life of Peter to look back and see. That he denied the Lord. It says that he went out and wept bitterly, but the greatest feeling was when the Lord forgave him and used him again.
Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas John 18:12-14 It was the high priest that offered the blood upon the mercy seat for the forgiveness of sin once a year. That day was called the day of atonement. It’s no coincidence that the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world went to the high priest. The Old Testament was a shadow of things to come, that is, Christ, a better in new living way.
