Week 14 (The Cross of Christ) – Day 3: The Crucifixion

Day 68 – The Crucifixion – John 19:1-42

The powers of evil think they have won.  Religious authorities who embrace religion but not following God, team up with the representative of military and economic security to kill Jesus.  As Jesus cries out “It is finished” (v 30), the killers think they have won.  Death continues to reign.

But Jesus words point toward a alternate plan fulfilled.  Jesus’ life was building to this very moment of self sacrificial love.  God’s plan is obediently completed by his Son.

Through Jesus’ death it is possible for our adoption as children of God.  Just as the lamb blood marked God’s people at the Passover, we are marked by Jesus’ blood as God’s children. 

In Christ,
