Jesus’ death was no accident. The details of His crucifixion unfolded according to God’s plan and fulfilled His Word. In this episode, we examine John 19:19–29 alongside Psalm 22 to see Jesus as King, High Priest, loving Son, and suffering Savior. Through the dividing of His garments, His care for His mother, and His thirst, we discover the depth of His love and the sacrifice He offered for sinners. Listen as we consider how the cross strengthens our confidence in Scripture and calls us to respond to Jesus with faith and a life turned from sin.
In this sermon, we come to the cross - the climax of history and the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus willingly goes to Golgotha as our substitute, bearing the penalty of sin and accomplishing the work of salvation on behalf of sinners.
In John 19:1–15, Jesus stands before Pilate beaten, mocked, and crowned with thorns. Yet in the midst of His humiliation, we see His glory revealed.

In John 18:28–40, Jesus stands before Pilate as the innocent King while the world around Him rejects the truth standing right in front of them.

The truth is not merely something to understand—it is found in the person of Jesus Christ.
