Message: “The King is Crucified” from Matt Chapin

The King is Crucified
John 19:16-27 describes Jesus's crucifixion at Golgotha, emphasizing his identity as "The King of the Jews" through Pilate's inscription, despite Jewish leaders' objections, fulfilling prophecy as soldiers cast lots for his seamless tunic while his mother and beloved disciple watched, to whom Jesus entrusted his mother's care. This passage highlights Jesus's fulfillment of scripture, his royal status even in suffering, and his human compassion for his mother, even as his earthly life ends.
From Series: "The Gospel of John: That We May Believe"
The Gospel of John is about revealing Jesus as the divine Son of God, the promised Messiah, who offers eternal life to all who believe in Him, emphasizing His deity through powerful "signs" (miracles) and "I AM" statements, contrasting light with darkness, and focusing on Jesus as the Word made flesh, explaining God's will and love for humanity to foster faith and a deeper relationship with God.
