3.17.19 ~ John 19:17-30, Jesus is Crucified!

Read John 19:17-22… Jesus couldn’t carry His cross, so Simon (cf. Matthew 27:32; Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26), carried it to Golgotha [Hebrew,“skull place” [Greek, Kranion; Latin, Calvaria] (cf. Numbers 15:35).
Galatians 3:13, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written (cf Deuteronomy 21:23), ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’”.
It was about 9am, when Jesus was nailed to a cross, where he would endure a slow, agonizing death.
Read John 19:23-25a… Soldiers cast lots for Jesus’ tunic (verse 24), fulfilling Psalm 22:18.
Read John 19:25b-27… Luke and Matthew tell us:
Luke 23:35, the Jews were “sneering at Him, saying, ‘He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.’” Matthew 27:39-40, others “hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads and saying, ‘You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.’”
John records that he and four women were standing near the cross: Jesus’ mother (Mary), her sister (Salome, Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40), another woman named Mary (she is thought to be the “other Mary,” in Matthew 27:61; 28:1; Luke 24:10, who is the mother of James, son of Alphaeus, Luke 6:15; Acts 1:15) the wife of Clopas (a variant of Alphaeus, ), and lastly, Mary Magdalene.
In the midst of His own pain and suffering, Jesus entrusts His mother to His beloved disciple John.
Read John 19:28-30… Jesus, “knowing that all things had already been accomplished,” fulfills Psalm 69:21b. After receiving the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!”
Read Mark 15:33-37… At 12 noon, darkness covered the [Earth], lasting until about 3 pm, at which time Jesus cried out, My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me?”
2Corinthians 5:21, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf.”
Romans 3:24-25, “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith.”
Hebrews 9:22, “all things are cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness,” Hebrews 10:8-10, “…‘sacrifices for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them (which are according to the Law)’, ‘He takes away the first in order to establish the second’ …‘we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.’”
Acts 2:21, “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Acts 4:12, “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
1Peter 3:18, “Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
God the Father and God the Son are in heaven. God the Holy Spirit indwells all who repent and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, making them God’s children.
Romans 8:9, “if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.”
1Corinthians 3:16, “Do you not know that …the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
Romans 10:9-10, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” 13, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Is God speaking to your heart, don’t turn away: Admit you are a sinner. Believe Jesus died for your sins. Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Demonstrate new life in Christ: read His Word and obey what you understand, pray to Him, fellowship with His children by participating in a God-honoring church, and tell others about Him.
That is the Good News of the Crucifixion of Christ!
