Jesus Predicts His Crucifixion - Now some Greeks were among those who went up to worship at the festival. So they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus replied to them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. “I assure you: Unless ...
Mar 22, 2023 · For starters, on the day before His crucifixion, Jesus proclaimed that He had already finished the work He was sent to do (John 17:4). Furthermore, Paul stated that Jesus was raised for our justification (Romans 4:25) and clarified that had He not been raised from the dead, we would still be in our sin (1 Corinthians 15:17).
Jan 4, 2022 · In this passage, Jesus is assuring one of the criminals on the cross that when he died, he would be with Jesus in heaven. This was granted because even at the hour of his death, the criminal had expressed his faith in Jesus, recognizing Him for who He was (Luke 23:42). (4) “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46). Here ...

Scripture: Matthew 27:31-34; Mark 15:20-23; Luke 23:26-33; and John 19:17 The Romans intended crucifixion to be 1. unspeakably cruel 2. mercilessly lingering - men would often last a day or more on the cross 3. inescapably public - again, to hinder any seditious impulse in the citizenry 4. publicly certifiable - the death had to occur visibly and u...
Scripture: Matthew 27:35-44; Mark 15:24-32; Luke 23:33-43; and John 19:18-27 Jesus is crucified between two criminals. Sunlight remains. The soldiers gamble for Jesus's garments (in fulfillment of Psalms 22:18). The inscription, "King of the Jews" is affixed amid much scoffing. This inscription, according to the biblical account, was placed there b...
"Father, forgive them."
The ESV translation of Luke 23:34says, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” These were the first of our Lord’s final words upon the cross, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. In light of what is known about the process of ancient Roman crucifixion, it’s incredible to think that the world’s Greatest Defender was not once found to be defending his own innocence or even returning an angry word upon His deserving accusers. Rather, the One who came to save, having Himself been fo...
"Today you will be with me in paradise"
Jesus was blameless, without sin, and was not guilty of such a horrific death, but two men who were guilty of their crimes hung next to Him that fateful day. Both men spoke to Jesus, but only one would die to be greeted into the promise of Heaven. The response of Jesus in this instance was profound to the criminal, as He promised this sinner that he too would enter the gates of Heaven to live in Paradise, not later but that day! We are not told what this criminal stole to be convicted guilty...
"Woman, behold your son"
Jesus saw his mother, Mary, standing by and knew her cares and griefs, and He saw John standing not far off. So, He established a new relationship between His beloved mother and His beloved disciple. He said to her, "Woman, behold your son, for whom, from now on, you must have a motherly affection," and to John, "Behold you mother, to whom you must pay a sonly duty." And so from that hour, that hour never to be forgotten, that disciple took her to his own home. He calls her woman, not mother,...
Scripture: Matthew 27:45-50; Mark 15:33-37; Luke 23:44-46; and John 19:28-30 God draws a supernatural darkness over the scene. Jesus, as the Lamb of God, is "forsaken" (i.e., judicially dis-fellowshipped, rejected) by the Father, suffering the agony and torment of spiritual death (i.e., separation from the Father) on behalf of fallen men. It was th...
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
I believe that in the time when in his humanity he felt forsaken by the Father, that as he looked around and we have this parade of people coming by that were mocking him, the chief priest and rulers. I understand why these robbers would mock me. I understand why the crowds who said Hosanna five days ago, they don't understand. I understand why they would forsake me. I understand why these Jewish leaders would forsake me. But my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? That was what broke his h...
"I thirst"
This may appear overly simplistic. The temptation is to take these words and interpret them in some overly spiritualized manner. We might equate “thirsting” with Christ’s call to “hunger and thirst after righteousness” (Matthew 5:6). Another possible connection would be to link this statement with Christ’s invitation that all who are thirsty are invited to drink from the waters of life (Revelation 22:17). These interpretive links are not necessarily wrong, and word-studies can be an enjoyable...
"It is finished"
Jesus is saying in “It is finished” that the debt owed by man to his Creator on account of Adam’s sin is finally and forever dealt with. Jesus, with “it is finished,” is saying not only does He take away man’s sin, but now He removes it as far as the east is to the west, for is finished, done, signed, and sealed because of the blood of Jesus. When Jesus said, “It is finished” (John 19:30) He brought about the completion of all the Old Testament prophecies, symbols, and foreshadowing about Him...
Scripture: Matthew 27:51-56; Mark 15:38-41; and Luke 23:50-54 These events include the following: the rending of the veil in the temple; tremors in the earth that split rocks; the resuscitation (return to mortal life) of some who had (recently?) died and been buried in the regions of Jerusalem. These physical signs drew many onlookers to faith, inc...

Mar 29, 2024 · A difficulty with the Wednesday view is that the disciples who walked with Jesus on the road to Emmaus did so on “the same day” of His resurrection (Luke 24:13). The disciples, who do not recognize Jesus, tell Him of Jesus’ crucifixion (verse 20) and say that “today is the third day since these things happened” (verse 21).
