Summary: John 19; first 37 verses: Jesus answered to Pilate that he has no power unless it is given to him of God. the Jews first accused Jesus for religous reasons, when that did not work with Pilate they changed the accusation to political. 8 events at the cross: Jesus bore his cross and He bore it willingly. Jesus was crucified between 2 theives; He died for sinful mankind. The soldiers gambled for Jesus' clothes, unkowingly they fulfilled Old Testament prophesy. There was a group of dedicated bystanders to the very end. The Creator showed his love for his mother by asking John to care for her. in His great agony he still put others first rather than wallowing in his own misery. I thirst: Jesus was in agonizing pain and the scriptures were deliberately being fulfilled. Jesus cried "It is finished" The spear; and blood and water flowing: The water symbolizes the washing of regeneration, the blood cleanses us from sin. Are we praising and glorifying God for his plan of salvation?
