This passage shows us the obedience of Jesus, even to death on a cross. (Tree) (Phil 2:8)

We see here that Jesus drank the cup (God's wrath) in our place. He lived a life that we could not live and died a death that we deserved so that in Him we could find peace with God. (Colossians 1:19-20)


What is the significance of the Crown of Thorns? How does it relate to your sin, and how does this imagery stir you?


Why is it a big deal that Pilate found no basis for a charge? Vs 4 vs 6

Read Romans 5:19 - How does Jesus’ life (obedience) in our place crush any thought of self-goodness and self-works righteousness?


When Jesus said “It is finished” what was he talking about? How should this compel how we live as an overflow from the cross?



What is one thing that God has shown you from John 19 this week that you never thought about before?
